[@TheLostOne172]

Im going out to see some of these in the wild soon. Get an idea for how they grow in the wild. Update:they were buitifull and growing and a deep red sphagnum matt. There were so many.

[@josephjude1290]

Nice video; can you do an update? Thanks

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

I moved out of town but if i go back i could take another video!

[@inGods2hands]

I've heard that these plants, sarracenia purpurea, were used by the Native Americans in defense of small pox. Wish I knew how they used these plants.

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

Wow! Never heard that. Id be interested to know also!

[@JWLuke787]

They boiled the roots and applied a poultice. The pustules would fall off after 4 to 5 days instead of 20.

From Southern Ontario, is there any reputable seller of these plants? Have a Sarracenia purpurea ssp. Venosa but would like to get a Ontario plant. Thanks, great content 👍🏼

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

The native ones are pretty hard to get a hold of. I dont know anyone that sells them, however i do have seeds for sale if your interested, you can contavt me on instagram

[@thesmoviemaker21]

Where is this place?I wanna go there!

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

Cant say unfortunately due to risk of them being poached.

[@thesmoviemaker21]

@@OutdoorsAndBotanical Awwww man.ok then I guess I will take my chances and go a 5 hour dive to a bord walk.

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

Unfortunately thats how it goes. Do some research, use google street view and maps and then determine if its a possible location.

[@thesmoviemaker21]

@@OutdoorsAndBotanical I tried to see, but the walk images did not go that deep into the board walk.I wanted to show everyone one on the Carniverous Plat Socity of Canada some pics.

[@thesmoviemaker21]

@@OutdoorsAndBotanical Oh I just found the perfect place online.A bord walk that goes in a loop on a bog made out of spruce trees.Looks very similar to your footage.Witch means the bog has a chance of finding some plants!Thanks you.If you never made this video I would never know!I wanted to see plants in the wild for a longggg time.

Hi, great video, can I get the location of this bog, I'm not looking to poach the plants, I frequently go looking for and photographing these plants in the wild. I could give you my email if that works to send me the location, Thanks.

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

Sorry i cant share the location. But they grow in a ton of places. Just look in wetlands and the sides of lakes where its swampy. Youll find sphagnum moss and then youll find those

[@Caydenblackwell453]

I know that, that bog is a specific interest to me though from what I saw in the video, I can give you my email and you can give me the location, as I said i'm not looking to poach, just get photographs and post some data about it to the Carnivorous Plant Society of Canada, if you really don't want to give me it that's fine.

[@Caydenblackwell453]

Also, those purple pitcher plants are the veinless form, witch is rare and I would like to see them in such a large amount like that.

[@OutdoorsAndBotanical]

@@Caydenblackwell453 i cant really share it. Its also private property so you wont be able to go in there

[@Caydenblackwell453]

@@OutdoorsAndBotanical You sure that's private property? don't know why there would be a boardwalk going though there and trails. You could email me the location? I can give you my email. I could just ask the owner for permission to explore like I usually do.
