Pitcher plants, Philliols Heath
My understanding is that these plants are sarracenia purpurea, the purple pitcher plant, an insectivorous plant native of North America. This pic shows three large groups but a wider angle would reveal closer to 50 of them. I know that many believe that as an alien species they should be removed and destroyed but whatever your belief, you can't deny their beauty and the fact that they're fascinating.
