Aberdeenshire, Scotland, bog visit

I spent a wonderful afternoon exploring a couple of the local bogs here in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with a fellow UK CP grower. Here's a few pictures I took:

We saw mostly D. rotundifolia:

This was one of the few D. anglica we seen. They had a preference to grow directly on the peat, rather than amongst the Sphagnum moss which D. rotundifolia preferred.

There was lots of different varieties of Sphagnum moss:

Love those photos. Thanks for sharing. It's not often I get to see the plants growing in a native environment.
 
look like a great place :0o: , thanks for sharing this !
 
They are coming to the end of season, but the D. rotundifolia were quite numerous.
 
I love temperate 'dews!! Thanks for sharing. It's always nice to see them in their native habitat.
