Jaunt Through a Sarracenia Bog Nice

In this aquatic video we take a short jaunt through a Sarracenia Bog and check out a lovely population of Sarracenia leucophylla and the very rare and restricted Morella inodora.

I lived in the Florida panhandle outside of Pensacola for a year. Absolutely beautiful and ecologically unique place. Totally different than south Florida where I grew up. It holds a special place in my heart. What’s cool is near Crestview there’s Eglin Air Force base which owns a few hundred thousand acres of fairly pristine wilderness. For $10 a year you can get a recreation permit to explore the land. Miles and miles of dirt roads, spring fed creeks just like the one you’re in everywhere. A lot of really healthy ecosystems, and in certain places deep in the woods I believe I stumbled upon some old growth forest- at least based on the size of the cedars and diversity of the flora. It was super tough but I finally found all 7 native species of Florida pitcher plants which was a huge nerd goal of mine lol. Plus a few weird hybrids. If you’re ever in that area, get a AFB recreation pass online and hit me up for some pristine spots that not many know about!

[@dmc3489]

Thanks for the insight regarding the Eglin rec pass! I grew up here and after college I moved to Texas. Twenty-six years later and I am back in Okaloosa. Time to see if I can match your nerd goal!

[@noelbreitenbach8673]

This was awesome, gotta get in that water more

[@herbbirdsfoot]

Love the Sarracenia footage. S. leukophylla is one of the loveliest species but another nice one in Florida is S. minor and the two species hybridize naturally to form S. x excellens which is arguably more beautiful than the parent species. Not sure how much of the natural mixing habitat is still around down there but maybe eventually you'll stumble across it. ;)

[@lillyanderson-messec6042]

I think their ranges just barely overlap in Liberty and Franklin county - but I’ve never seen both at the same site.

[@tylernaturalist6437]

I think Chamaecyparis thyoides only just barely makes it into some of Maines southeastern estuaries where it is super rare. Also, I don’t believe it makes it to any of Canadas Atlantic provinces according to GBIF or USDA. Once you go north of NJ it’s hard to find any substantially large stands of it, and the stands that do exist that far north are seldom far from the ocean. I’ve been to one stand in New Hampshire and I’ve seen some in Long Island as well. I think Cape Cod has quite a few. I was trudging around a cedar swamp this past weekend down in Cape May county NJ and it’s amazing how common the species is, it grows with water Tupelos there as well. You can see swamps all along the Garden State Parkway right from your car.

That Cartepillar is being parasitized, probably by wasp larvae. Either by exoparisites or endoparasitoids that pupate in the exterior. Amazing wasps those ones are. Poor caterpillar though.

3:30 that caterpillar has braconid wasp eggs on its back. Its a parasite and those egg larva will hatch and consume the caterpillar in a horror movie metamorphosis, and was destined to become a host of wasps instead of a butterfly

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Don't use common names and it won't happen! No true cedars are native to the Americas!

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Also it hybridizes with Hesperocyparis so it's pretty much in that genus. Or in Cupressus if you go by the old taxonomy. Yes, it is a confusing mess. All getting ironed out slowly though

[@madhatte73]

@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt I keep learning taxonomy like over and over. I've been a forester forever and it's always jarring to learn that I'm out of date because I wasn't paying attention to all the journals.
