    Turtles from Europe and the US. Cold water fish, mainly Fundulus and cypriniids.
Its important to not know too much about what plants can or cannot tolerate when you want to be the one to find new plants to grow in a cold climate. Otherwise my garden wouldnt be filled with hardy plants from South Africa.... About excessive water, I have Lewisias and Delospermas germinating in the bog, even surviving a winter or two. In wet peat.

Beautiful bog! This particular plant looks quite a bit like Lynda Butt, which I have in my bog as well. I planted it last year, and it survived the Danish winter under straw. I'm hoping it will make a full comeback. :)
