Long Leaf Pine

Later that morning Ted and I went out looking for the nature trail the naturalist, whom we had met the day before, told us about.  He told us we could find Venus flytraps, pitcher plants and sun dews.  He did not tell us that it was not marked. It was on the east side of the Croatan National Forest.  But we did not find any of the carnivorous plants.  We did find other interesting plants.  Young long leaf pines have very long needles.
