#,##,#,#,# The ,Blue fire, Is A Carnivorous Plant #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Living Mostly At The Western Alvar (But #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# It Has Spread To A Few Other Places, #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Mostly Rocky Coasts). #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# The Plant Is A Dense Network Of #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Green-Brown Tentacle-Like Roots, Which #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Is Often Called "Rat'S Tail" Before #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Blooming. In Late June, It Quickly #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Sprouts Feelers, Ten To Thirty #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Centimeters High, Filled With Purple #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Hairs - This Is The Blue Fire. This #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Stage Lasts For One Or Two Weeks, #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Depending On Food Access, Water, #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Climate. #,#,#,#,#,

#,##,#,#,# Often It'S Not Clear How Far The Plant #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Has Spread Unless Its In The Fire #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Stage. Suddenly, As If Overnight, Whole #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Fields Can Be Turned Ablaze (With The #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Same Individual Plant, As Well)! In The #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Blooming Peak, It'S Not Unusual For The #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Whole Alvar To Be Connected North-South. #,#,#,#,#,

#,,#,#,#,# Stage, The Blue Fire Feeds On The Stone #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Itself Via A Slow Chemical Attrition. #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# This Is Enough To Keep The Roots Alive, #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# But All Growth And Procreation Must #,#,#,#,#,

#,##,#,#,# Semistiff Upright Feelers Looks Like An #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Extension Of The Sea, And Birds Are #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Tricked Into Landing Or Diving Into It. #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# They Are Quickly Paralyzed By The #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# Poison On The Purple Hairs, And #,#,#,#,#,
#,,#,#,#,# Devoured Over A Period Of Hours. #,#,#,#,#,
#,##,#,#,# #,#,#,#,#,
