Will check out the proper name for these beautiful plants (see below) - you can see the liquid glistening in wait for insects in the pitcher with the crossed stems.  These are but one of the many plants that grow in these northern heaths. 

Sarracenia purpurea, commonly known as the purple pitcher plant, northern pitcher plant, or side-saddle flower, is a carnivorous plant in the family Sarraceniaceae. The species is the floral emblem of the Canadian province of  Newfoundland and Labrador.  (courtesy of Wikipedia)
