About Darlingtonia State Natural Site
Darlingtonia State Natural Site (18 acres) is a state park and botanical preserve located five miles (8.0 km) north of Florence, Oregon, United States on U.S. Route 101, just west of Mercer Lake and south of Sutton Lake that is dedicated to the preservation of a rare plant. Darlingtonia californica is a carnivorous plant (commonly known as the cobra lily or western pitcher plant), luring and trapping insects to its hollow, vertical pitchers (leaves) with a sweet, sticky secretion. In addition to the aroma, the top of the pitcher is red and attracts specific insects by the bright color.
