Question
Hi Arthur, I've found Drosera intermedia (I'm fairly certain it's intermedia and not rotundifolia) along a seepy ledge along Muscongus Bay in Bristol, Maine. It gets occasional salt spray at this location. It seems like a very strange location to find this, but it's thriving - I first saw it last year and it seems even more numerous this year. Is this typically found in this type of location? (other images available if this isn't definitive...)
Answer
Dear JoanRay, Drosera intermedia will be located outside of the more usual bog/fen habitat. It does inhabit seepy ledges on rivershores and mountainsides, and even can be found in mossy areas in clearings away from peatlands. Great photograph.
