Went for a walk today to a nearby bog where D. anglica and D. rotundifolia grows. It's a small and wet bog under a powerline, which has the nice side effect that trees are cleared, keeping the bog in full sun.
D. anglica grows on the wettest part of the bog directly on the peat, while D. rotundifolia grows on the Sphagnum moss on the outskirts. (There may be D. x obovata as well, but I didn't know to look back in july.)
No plants had started growing yet. I don't know whether that's normal or not, but the winter has been longer and colder than usual here in Oslo as well. Night temperatures still occasionally drop below zero degrees C.

Thanks for posting they are great photos. Looks like there is a lot of snow still so maybe spring hasnt quite sprung yet in Oslo.
My anglica has been in dormancy for a couple of weeks now in the deep south.

Visited the bog again today, the sundews have started to grow:

Another visit today, at around 20:05. Could mention at this point that a good thing about this site is that it's small, close to a path and it's easy to take pictures without treading on a lot of plants.

Right before midnight yesterday, the longest day of the year. No midnight sun here in Oslo, unfortunately.
