Pitcher plants

A wide variety of wildflowers grow alongside the road coming down the mountain from Tulgao.

In the early morning it is really a beautiful walk but you want to get going before the sun gets too high in the sky and makes walking uncomfortable.

There were pitcher plants growing in the shade which plucked and used as a vase for her collection.

I am told the local women harvest these plants and stuff them with rice and herbs and fry them at Christmas time.
