I was able to get a couple of plant excursions while on vacation with my wife... she is a good sport!
Long Island:

Pond habitat on Long Island. I was able to find populations of Drosera intermedia, Drosera rotundifolia, Drosera filiformis and several Utricularia.

Drosera rotundifolia only grew on beds of sphagnum moss, whereas Drosera intermedia preferred to be soaking wet in peat.

Drosera intermedia almost completely submerged.

Thick carpet of Drosera intermedia growing on the edge of the pond. This was the best population I could find. Look closely to see the stem forming habit in this locale.

The largest Drosera intermedia plants were growing on elevated stems.
