just out of curiosity, where would D. filiformis be found naturally in Canada?

Tom you have an amazing knowledge of Canadian CP's and their habitats. Do you mind if I ask how you were able to acquire all of this information? You're bordering on being encyclopedic with your vast grasp of Canadian carnivores. Very impressive!

haha thanks DVG, but i'm far from being an expert, IMO
You can find the native species by consulting the book of flora of your area, flora of your province, of Canada or flora of North America... Carnivorous Plants of United States and Canada is also a good reference, although the distribution in Canada isn't clearly defined.
As for hybrids, some are mentionned in floras, but in scientific papers too. Some introduced species have been mention in an ICPS article done by Chris Teichreb if i remember correct about D. capensis and Darlingotnia in BC.
As for D. filiformis in NS, i don't remember very well where i got the first informations about it. There's a few scientific papers on it, and a few websites. The species is(was?) also listed on the 'threatened species of Canada... can't remember where though!
And finally, I also work in ecology/agronomy, being passionate about CP for now 10 years, done a lot of fieldtrip in search of species and hybrids, and currently doing my master in bog restoration/ecology... It helps a bit lol

lol too bad arrogant villains like myself ruin it for everyone Seriously, Tom might be the most scientifically knowledgeable CP type on here, hell even if he couldn't positively identify every type of sphagnum he could probably name most of them in his sleep- heck I bet he DOES do that often the amount of knowledge held by our group as a whole is practically scary tho, many of our members (myself excluded are true experts in a great many fields, yet as Lloyd pointed out NO one feels above anyone else, we are all on the same level and it really does seem to work well for us

I like the thought of Tom dreaming of sphagnum.
