For the love of Science!
Took me a few tries to track down local bogs. Found many swamps the first few times. Eventually, I found a bog bordering a small lake (more like a pond, in my opinion) and went for a short walk:
It was really too easy - the boardwalk goes straight up to the bog, and Sarracenias were visible from the boardwalk.
Saw some other pretty flowers - I wish now I'd paid more attention to them, but I was wayyyyy too focused on other things. This one looks like some kind of Lobelia to me (gotta look it up to be sure.)
The Sphag was beautiful:
And I was very excited to see these guys:
S. purpurea purpurea - this was one of the redder individuals.
A less-red individual.
Drosera rotundifolia (reasonably positive I got a good ID on it, but if you think that is NOT it, please let me know!)
