Trent here in South Florida,

Indeed, Bruce Bednar has found the southernmost population of Sarracenia
minor here in Florida, and it is in a cow pasture near Lake Okeechobee,
along with species of Drosera. This population is threatened. The site has
also been visited by Clyde Bramblett, Manny Herrera, and I'm sure others.
This is roughly 120 miles south of Orlando.

Until later,

Trent Meeks
Pompano Beach. Fl.
