Hello everyone.
I want to know what kind of wild Sarracenia and Sundews are found growing in the same bog as Venus Fly Traps? This is just something that interests me for many reasons. I am in western Canada so I just can't drive up to areas were they are and see for myself or I would. I have done some research myself in the wonderful world of Google but it just gives me plants from different areas and not necessarily what I am looking for.

S. flava, rarely S. minor, purpurea venosa, D. capillaris, rotundifolia, intermedia, brevifolia, various Utricularia.

Thank you sir! :)but I thought D.Rotundifolia was rare to find with Venus Fly Traps in the wild on the coast?

Hi,
Thanks for the link! I am seeing some Sarracenia species in there but what does the "Var" mean in their latin names? ex:Sarracenia flava "var" cuprea

It is an abbreviation for "variety." I think it means the trait is not distinctive enough to merit subspecies status but still easy to recognize. I might be mistaken, though.

Thanks for the replies! Now I haven't seen any S.Flava Cut Throats in the post above but are they still in "The Green Swamp"? And are they hybrids or natural forms?

I believe "The Green Swamp" has been drained already so there are no more CPs there, unfortunately. And they are a naturally occurring variety of Sarracenia flava.

The green swamp is a large area, there's still a lot of it left. I doubt advocates of Dionaea would allow the entire thing to be destroyed...though it has been greatly fragmented. If by flava "cutthroat" you are referring to rugelii, this variety does not occur in the Carolinas.

The Green Swamp Preserve is owned by the Nature Conservancy, and has large portions still intact with some nice populations of cp still. I visit there in 2012, but only for a very short time. In just the parking area near the Barrow pit pond I saw S. flava, D. capillaris, D. intermedia, and U. inflata. www.wildlifesouth.com/Locations/NorthCarolina/GreenSwamp.htmlJeff

Edit on my comment above: turns out there is a relict population of flava rugelii in South Carolina, but it's not sympatric with Dionaea.

Where about's are the best places to see CP's in the wild besides the Green swamp in North or South Carolina? If you specify an area please put a list of species that you could find. Perhaps just for interest we should start up a forum in regards to this, as it may be interesting to see what is in those specific areas.
