A New Camosun Bog Display

Zavi (age 9) has been busy publicizing Camosun Bog. He had a display at a science fair at Queen Mary School and this was so well received that he was asked to show it at a city-wide fair at Science World.  This went very well and he was continuously busy answering questions and showing off his meat-eating sundews. As you can see the display looks very attractive. Congratulations Zavi!

CBRG Minibog in the Beaty Museum

CBRG donated a minibog for the interpreters at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum.  

Time travel to bogs, fens, flats, by inchmeal - how deep is Camosun Bog?

This is a bamboo stick, about 1.6 metres, buried in the peat.  Let's pull it out.  (look closely at the moss near the stick.  Can you spot the sundews?)

Birth of a Sundew

Gerry's picture of a tiny sundew, its tendrils surrounded by sphagnum moss.


"Sundews have tiny cylindrical seeds, with a diameter not much greater than a human hair. The photo shows the seed on the right, with the shoot coming out near the end and splitting into three tiny leaves. Neat!"
