On the subject of CP in ice as Paul Temple experienced, you would be amazed
at what will survive being in an ice cube. Darlingtonia and some Sarracenia
are pretty tough and occur naturally in habitats that get burried in snow
and freezing temperatures annually. Sarracenia purpurea grow in northern
Canada where they (the purps) experience colder temperatures than I did last
week. Pings and Utrics are frequent plants above the Arctic Circle. I
haven't seen Drosera that far north myself but they have been reported in
Inuvik which is near the Arctic Ocean. I looked around when I was in a bird
camp on the Beaufort Sea coastline but couldn't find any CP in the ponds or
Sphagnum there.
