Sifton Bog in London, Ontario

This past weekend I visited the Sifton Bog in London, Ontario. I want to thank Peatmoss for guiding me there, because it is an AMAZING bog!

Here are the pictures:

Purps (They were few, but the ones that were there were SUPER healthy and nicely colored)

I'll update this thread with some videos that I took, I am uploading them on youtube right now!

Thanks for looking,

Will
 
Hehehe, glad to see you made it... I've never been myself, but I had heard some good things about it on the Canadian forums...

That looks like a classic Canadian Shield Bog, we have them all over the place, not usually that big though.

Those dews are mad! And the sphagnum is great!
 
Gorgeous photos Will! Gotta love the red sphagnum, and it doesn't get much better than those intermedia colonies. I look forward to the videos :)
 
I need to get some of that red sphag, it would go so wellwith some of my plants! The dews are amazing, and yep, definitely looks like some sort of Utric in the pond there. Could be something along the lines of U. macrorhiza or intermedia, not very sure about the northern species.
 
Yeah, I saw some sphag that people had pulled out, but then hadn't taken it, just left it there to dry.... I am trying to revive a few nearly dead pieces now(Hoping that they will grow for me!!!)
 
I saw. They look great! Is there a reason why it's so compacted?
 
iPhone Video, forgot the video camera....

a lot of those Drosera don't look like intermedia they look more like D. rotundifolia to me, but I'm no expert. The way I remember it is that D. intermedia has teaspoon shaped leaves and D. rotundifolia has soup spoon shaped leaves. But nonetheless great photos, looks like a fun trip!

I also can see both in that bog there. Both are great plants, the hybrid is really cool too.

In the videos or the pictures? The pictures are completely mixed, the more round leaves are rotundifolia, the others are intermedia.

People did say they saw some D. Intermedia x Rotundifolia hybrids here, but I don't think I caught any....
