Flare up!
The fire would occasionally flare up and the flame lengths would grow up to about 6 meters (20 feet)!
Its crackling sound turned into a roar. I can only imagine what a crown fire must sound like!
Unlike biblical counterparts, the bushes in Osceola
are consumed when burned.
I was also expecting to meet Brian Barnes, another carnivorous plant grower who has been around for many years, but who keeps a
relatively low profile. Brian was driving up from southern Florida and also had a great deal of expertise visiting the areas on my
itinerary.
