Yeah, nice pics Zac, glad you got them posted... I can hardly wait to see the pics Jay and Purpman got on our trip... I wonder when 2 or more of us will accidentally run across each other out in the swamps?? I was half expecting that to happen on our journey
And just an observation- what the heck is it that makes Drosera SO red in habitat?? Must be sopething to do with the substrate, cos mine get the same light as many of our "wild" ones and never achieve that super red colour....

Very nice pictures, it's makes me depressed to live in the middle of the praries some times.

Hi Zac,
Interesting pics: did you also find dr. linearis in sphagnum (or acidic soil anyway) ?
The reason I'm asking this question is because all the dr. lin. I saw in Ontario this July were in fens (alkaline) and those I saw in Québec were in acidic soil!
Thanks for replying and best regards from Switzerland,
Olivier

Not answering for Zac or anything but I,too was kinda surprised that there were NO D.linearis growing outside the marls... we were up in the Bruce area maybe a week before you were and it was my first visit, and I found it odd that the species would not be distributed similarly to D.rotundifolia...
Olivier- do the Qubec sphagnum growing D.linearis exhibit the same extreme red-ness as those in the fens??

Yes indeed.
I wish I could send some pics to the forum... but don't know how.
If you have an email address outside the forum, I can send you pictures, which you could then show here.
To come back to the colour of the sphagnum, it WAS very red indeed. Let me tell you it was absolutely SPLENDID to admire yellow sarr purp by the hundreds on a red carpet of sphag. BTW, Tom took me there and he, too, has wonderful pics.
Please feel free to email me privately if interested,
(I sent you a PM also some seconds ago!)
Kind regards from CH
Olivier
