johns Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 While in Finland I visited the Valkmusa national park. Valkmusa is located in southern Finland and covers 17 square kilometres of several different types of mires. I only saw a small part of the park, as I only followed the 2.5 KM board walk. Visitors are advised not to walk on the mires during the nesting season, or I would have liked to explore further. I was impressed with the size of the place - it's a rare sight to see bogs stretching far into the distance. The pictures were taken on june 23. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Tonnerre Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Nice pictures. Drosera x obovata seems to be more common in the north? Might just be my impression, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Nijman Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 They have more intact habitat upthere, and less people. Here in our country maybe D. anglica was a common plant a 1000 years ago when there was still a lot of prestine peatbog here. All gone now except a few tiny fragments, but almost 17 million people...
