Pacific Coast

The Pacific coast of the United States has no Sarracenia (you have to travel north to British Columbia to find S. purpurea purpurea) but it does boast a singular related species (and genus): The Cobra Lily, Darlingtonia californica, which is found only in Northern California and Southwestern Oregon.

I've seen this plant growing in two locations in Lane County, Oregon: The well-known Darlingtonia Wayside and a less well-known site (shhh) elsewhere. And because I like you, I'm including a photo of Darlingtonia with another carnivore: the globally-widespread sundew Drosera rotundifolia. You're welcome.
