Nice plants and setup. I've never seen pics of the Canadian filiformis - thanks for posting.

theres really only one site left now, i am a frequent visitor and the port la tour location is where these came from, it is now almost completely over grown now with alder brush, and if you follow the location to the farther end of it, you can see a relative new colvert draining the bog to the other side of the road which is quit a bit lower, so eventually its gonna be woods again. There are no more of these sundews at this location unfortunatly, but further down towards swains road bog you find a few lower lying sites that theyare still thriving in, which is good to see, as long as the ATV's stay out if it (there were a number of ripped up trenches form 4 wheelers)

i am actually tring to re-populate the numbers in another location, it a large piece of private property in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, that has been in my family for hundreds of years, it contains 3 thriving bogs that will never be disturbed, these bogs also support there own populations of common CP's, and years ago when i first collected this pot full, i transported one of them to this site to see how it would adapt and it has been thriving, so if i can get these guys to seed, i can spread that seed in the bog and hope for the best! I also believe that Dalhousie University has relocated some of them also to a bog near Halifax, but i don't know where, but as far as i know there still there too

if you get seeds, will you be selling a portion of them? Yes, or even leaf cuttings - I'm sure there are others on the forum who would love to have a D. filiformis with location data, even better: D. filiformis with a location in Canada ;D

i have already begun propagations off that pot, I currently have a bed of leaf cuttings planted meant to further fill out the pots surface but i could spare a few to trade. i currently have 20 growing in that pot in the photos, all of which are propagations of the original 3, i also have a much better leaf cutting tray this year and it should yeild a good crop., also last year was the first year they flowered, and this year they all have flower stalks,

I know I got my filiformis from Sib. Where do the temperate filiformis most of have come from? It's super hardy, the first year all the plants were sitting in ice all winter and came right back in the spring.
