Canadian peat bog

[dom1234]

Here some news on this 21 July 2006.

All Drosera are producing flowers (and Dionaea in a few days). Everything is growing well, except Sarracenia 'Judith hindle' and Leucophylla 'Danas Delight'. They are making only small pitcher. The only one Utricularia Intermedia in my water spot (Grrr, these birds!) didn't grow at all since this spring. The two Drosera Burmanii that I put in my peat bog (just for the fun) grow well

Drosera Filiformis

Drosera intemedia and Sarracenia Oreophylla

Drosera intermedia

Drosera rotundifolia

Flowers everywhere!

Dionaea et Dionaea Akai Ryu flowers

Sarracenia leucophylla 'Danas delight'

Utricularia livida

Even if we had 38 Celsius for two days last week, we can still find snow (that place was a snow dump this winter, so there was a lot of snow).

I hope that you enjoyed reading that post. More to come in the next month.

Wow! Amazing job on your bog. This is making me want to try a bog of my own someday

By the way, I love your choice of plants. Nicely varied, which I always appreciate.

Very nice evolutionary tale there. Everything looks to be all moved in and getting comfy. I'll be interested in seeing how that sphagnum progresses.

I think those VFT's are a little happy...

Great Bog!!!! I'm a canuck as well and your success is inspirational. Great Growing,

Zac

Awesome project!  I love it.  Keep adding updates.
I'm betting the D. burmannii will take over the whole thing in less than two years.
If I tried that here in Florida, a gator would have already moved in.

Get my new digital camera from ebay. Gonna take carnivorous plants pics tomorrow. For now, just an average housefly:

I just added a layer of dead leaves (I won't do that this winter) and a plastic paper sheet. Nothing more.

All my pics are hand held. I'm thinking about buying a tripod, but it's gonna be later.

Here some news. Sarracenia purpurea caught a misterious mortal disease (pitchers make lots of little red dots, and then die). It look like Sarracenia oreophylla got it too. Everything's okay for others. Drosera Intermedia et Rotundifolia already started to make winted buds.

Utricularia livida:

Drosera filiformis:

Dionaea muscipula

Drosera Intermedia:

Drosera binata:
