Little Bog of Horrors Revisited

[ronaldhanko]

About an hour south of where we live someone has introduced at least five different species of carnivorous plants into a floating bog or muskeg. This must have been done many years ago, since the plants are well established and no one knows when or by whom this was done. The bog is isolated and there is little chance the plants will spread to other locations but they are "aliens" that really should not be there. It is fascinating, however, to see them and to see how well they have adapted to a climate very unlike that to which they are native. A description of a recent trip to this bog and pictures can be found at:
