Yes, I'm sure you can find some CP's, if you haven't already and just
didn't know it. Small yellow flower with spurs, probably Utricularia.
These are AKA "Bladderworts" and you can often find a couple species
just about anywhere there is constant fresh water. To find other CP,
like Drosera, try looking for a *BOG* or bog-like area (fen). Often
to find these plants you'll have look through grass and other weeds
so dress so as to protect yourself from ticks and watch out for snakes,
quicksand and anything else that might kill you in your area. Oh yeah,
most of these places are on private land, so you'll need to speak with
and get a written note from the owner specifically saying you can be
on their land.
Good luck,
Dave Evans
