Pat,

If you know a bog with _P._ near (or better at) your home, this would
certainly be a suitable habitat. You should of course prevent _P.vulgaris_
from extending its range anthropogenically, it may be rather invasive in
wet environments. It is not too easy to cultivate _P.vulgaris_ at home in a
pot successfully (especially in winter; this is one of the reasons why I do
cultivate it in vitro).

Maybe Dr. Meyers-Rice could tell you more (Hi, Barry!), who has the alpine
_P.leptoceras_ (which is impossible to grow for many European growers!) in
Arizona (!!).

Funny small world! Please say him hello from the still grateful allochthone
if you meet him.

Kind regards
