After days of searching at boggy areas near the shoreline and canoeing near the shores of a small lake, I still cannot find any wild carnivorous plants. Though I found many beds of sphagnum moss. If anybody knows any tips on finding these elusive plants, that would be great. I'm in muskoka, near Huntsville. Anyone know a bog in the area that has carnivorous plants?

Didn't realize you lived so close to where I grew up, I used to live in Haliburton.
There are loads of bogs in your area, I never did much bogging there but I can point you to exactly where a decent purp bog is south of you. Remember that it is a MUST to bring someone with you, never go bogging alone.
PM me for details.

Lol. What years did you live there? We could have met if you've ever rented movies there between 2001-06.

The weedy lakes have lots of floating utrics. Just pick up a mass of it and you can hear the popping of the traps. Shallow muddy areas usually have the fixed aquatic types of utrics. The purps are in the marshy, boggy areas. Sundews are in wet fields, swamps/marshes or floating amongst logs/moss/debris in the smaller lakes.

Lived there from 88 until 07. I would guess we have met before. What store did you work at?

Video City.
Also, this would be a good question to ask some people at The Federation of Hunters and Anglers. They're probably more familiar with those areas than anyone else.

I wished I lived here, I'm just here on vacation.
Good news guys, I spent 3 hours cruising the place and found hundreds of D. Intermedia and D. Rotundifolia as well as infinite utricularia. I looked very close at the shore and it was overpopulated with utricularia. There were also a few s. Purpurea. I'll post some pictures soon!
Now I have a question about collecting plants. I do not intend on collecting these plants but it would be pretty nice to have some more Canadian plants in the hobby with their location . So would it be okay to take a few of the more frequently seen plants? Some are on my friend's property and some are in the wild. I would like to take a shot at trying to cultivate a few and give them to other enthusiasts.

Look very carefully on the shore line. Also most of the Sundews I found grew on a decaying log in the water so keep an eye out for that. Good luck!
