danthecpman Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Here are some pictures of a local bog I visited through summer. The site only contains drosera rotundifolia from what I could see. A few shots of the habitat Now onto the plants Hope you all enjoyed it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CephFan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Lovely photos Dan, It's always good to see them in the wild. The colours are really vivid in the full sun. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 These are great! Wish I lived close to some CPs in nature. Very jealous. I have seen that a Utricularia or two have been seen in Utah Lake next to me, but when I went out looking for some, a cursory expedition, I couldn't see anything. Maybe this summer I will get some waders and wander the murky edges looking for some Utric flowers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecpman Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yes it is nice as their are 3 sites buy me with carnivores in but this has to be the most pristine. It's a great example of a schwingmoor (floating bog). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Wow three sites even! Okay, well, perhaps a trip to the UK someday wouldn't be complete if I don't convince my wife to either let ME go bog hunting or come with me on a field trip. Would be great to see these plants in person. Brother-in-law is moving to North Carolina for the military so I have already started planning my Venus Fly Trap in the wild road trip!

danthecpman Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Yeah North Carolina sounds like it could be an amazing trip, I'm going to try and visit a few more sites this coming summer so hopefully plenty more pics! :) Edited February 10, 2014 by danthecpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
