Fun Newfoundland Facts

The pitcher plant is the provincial flower.  This pretty little plant is carnivorous and traps insects in it's water-filled pitcher that is under the sturdy flower.
The rest of the Canadian Confederation joins Newfoundland in 1949.  ;-)
Newfoundland has it's own time zone: one half hour ahead of Atlantic time or an hour and half ahead of the Eastern time zone.
Great for those with orphidiophobia, Newfoundland has no snakes--woo hoo!  No crickets either though which made it startlingly quiet when camping.
