Define "surrounded by" in this particular part of Ontario, there is little
or no habitat for cp in the area. The geology just isn't right. The are
about 3 locations within an hour for D. rotundifolia, and S. purpurea. All
relic bogs from the last ice age. The closest site for D. linearis is
about 5 hours north. As far as D. anglica goes, I've never seen it, nor
have I seen any records for it in Southern Ontario. I'm sure it occurs
north of here, however, I wouldn't know where to start.

Couldn't say .. Sorry.
The D.Anglica in Donald Schnell's book,

That may be environmental. I've seen rotundifolia almost 5 inches across,
and some as small as 1 inch across. Just very different habitat thats all.
Donald Schnell pokes holes in the theory that D.Anglica

If you want to try some d linearis, let me know. We do sell seed of that
species. Check our WEB page at the URL below for more info.
