Hey Folks, As is probably becoming obvious, there's a lot of interest in the red Drosera filiformis in Florida. I've been studying these populations for a few years now, via herbarium specimens and field trips. Yes, you can expect a couple of publications to come from this, but to comment upon their nature, I need a bit more science. But anyway, you might have seen the crazy videos of our madcap adventures that Randy posted. Now I've put a trip report on line, too. www.sarracenia.com/trips/fl022010.htmlEnjoy, and come back here to comment! Cheers Barry

Hey B, Lot's of great shots! I'm glad they all turned out nicely. Yes, what a total blast that one site was with all of the winding streams and such. Tons of botanical dainties sure to delight...I love it! ;D Happy Growing, Brian.

I'm glad you enjoyed the ghost picture.
But in all honesty, it was a low-tech, through the lens photograph. No post-processing trickery involved.

Dear Barry,
I love your travel logs. It is very nice to see some of the good site I've visited years ago are still extant!
D. filiformsis var. filiformsis in NJ also prefers extremely sandy soil. I did notice that D. filiformis var. tracyi prefers soils with more peat present. Any chance you could confirm the soil preference/ecological niche?
