Apparently we have 4 types of Drosera here according to intauralist.org
D. rotundifolia, D. intermedia, D. filiformis amd a hybrid of "D. intermedia and D.rotundifolia" (elosiana)
Along with several variations of Purps.

Have you seen any purp blooms yet cause I still haven’t?

I have not. I just discovered the sight a few days ago. I plan on going every so often to gather information. It's a bit of a hike but definitely worth it. The rocks and un maintained road can be treacherous. I took my 7 year old Son with me. What a trooper he is. He enjoyed it and said with his own mouth that "it was beautiful". We continued the trek up to the lake which is 5KM in total there and back from my house. My Son is a nature nut like myself so he will go long distances to explore and see new things

Yeah, what kind of info will you gather? As I have a bog by my place with purps too. I would love to hike more in but it is very wet so I can only look from the trail.

I want to note environment, soil or wet Sphag floating matt. I never got to investigate this yet. I also want to try and document blooming time. If it's early or later this year. Other Purps of variation around the area. Any Dews with them. All things I want to note.

@Jonathan I just went out for a bike ride and I saw flower stocks from purps so it looks like it’s blooming time.

 

[Toodles]

Here are some pics I got two of them are from far away so it’s hard to see the open flowers

 

[Toodles]

Saw some beautiful blooms one of the ones closer to the trail had it’s bud lopped off and it was laying around. But the rest have amazing flowers.

Just off the BLT trail in Halifax just up from the bluff trail.

That's awesome didn't know we had these around here!

@Ryanconnor11 The thing about here in NS is that there are bogs everywhere! Lots to explore <3 . I would like to think it's one of the provinces with the most bogs?
