Dear iPhone Autocorrect,
You and I have had our disagreements but overall have a decent working relationship.
Remember our falling out over the word FLOOF? We were able to get through it.
So why now do you insist on telling me that BOG should be BIG? It’s bog, b-o-g. I know the i and o are next to each other but I swear to God, I’m pressing the o.
In the meantime, here’s a little video of my bog - the marsh marigolds, skunk cabbage, and wonderful bogness.
Not bigness.

Raised bog (Ecosystems 🏞️)
Raised bogs, also called ombrotrophic bogs, are acidic, wet habitats that are poor in mineral salts and are home to flora and fauna that can cope with such extreme conditions. Raised bogs, unlike fens, are exclusively fed by precipitation and from mineral salts introduced from the air. They thus represent a special type of bog, hydrologically, ecologically and in terms of their development hist...

CAM #photosynthesis discovered in carnivorous plants
https://phys.org/news/2025-11-cam-photosynthesis-carnivorous.html"Most #CarnivorousPlants colonize wet, nutrient-poor habitats such as #bogs or #swamps. One of the few exceptions is the genus #Pinguicula... they thrive on rocky soils that are very dry for at least half of the year... Until now, it was unknown how the #plants compensate for the lack of water and still have enough to produce the sticky mucilage... in CAM, the stomata of the leaves remain closed during the day"

Lagg (landform) (Ecosystems 🏞️)
A lagg, also called a moat, is the very wet zone on the perimeter of peatland or a bog where water from the adjacent upland collects and flows slowly around the main peat mass.

"There is more carbon stored in peatlands than in all the above-ground vegetation in the world. They account for 3% of landmass, but hold at least 30% of soil carbon. Seventy per cent of the UK’s drinking water starts its journey on peatlands, where the bogs not only filter but also slow water, helping to mitigate flooding. This is why draining, extracting and turning peat into agricultural land has consequences"

Bogs always make me feel better. Toss in a spectacular boardwalk and a massive rock formation, and, well, it was a good day.

Four new #mushroom species discovered in Sweden https://phys.org/news/2024-12-mushroom-species-sweden.html
The genus Phellodon (Basidiomycota #Fungi) in Europe: Four #NewSpecies, one new combination, four new typifications and a first European record https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/wfbi/fuse/pre-prints/content-f1_fuse_vol15_art1
"They live in #symbiosis with different host #trees on different types of #soil, some in calcareous beech #forests, others in acidic pine #bogs. However, one environmental requirement unites all the new species—their association with #OldGrowthForests."

First foraging outing for cranberries. For ease of access, we went to the bog that apparently *Everyone* knows about and picks over. We still managed a small amount in 25 mins. Tomorrow, it's off to the bogs that I believe few know about or take the trouble to hike to. #foraging #ProvinceLands #PTown #dunes #bogs #cranberries

Scottish #bog gets world heritage status https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2gz1p2v12o
After an almost 40-year campaign, a stunning but little-known UK landscape has been awarded world heritage status. The #FlowCountry of Caithness and Sutherland in the far north of #Scotland covers almost 2,000 sq km of one of the most intact and extensive blanket bog systems in the world. Blanket #bogs are wetland ecosystems created when #peat, a #soil made up of partially decayed matter, accumulates in waterlogged conditions.

Cleaned the bogs. I wear a rubber glove and do it manually. I can't stand bog brushes.
Afterwards one of my fingers was wet.

Measurements from stations around the world show that #methane levels have increased significantly since the early 2000s.
According to the report, the main reason is that more methane has been released from wetland areas such as #bogs, shallow #wells , #ponds, and #lakes in tropical regions.
And as it gets warmer, more is released.
“The temperature change leads to increased microbiological activity,” researcher Stephen Matthew Platt says. He is one of the researchers behind the new study.
Processes like #decomposition in wetlands happen faster when it gets warmer.
Another reason for the increase in methane emissions is that #permafrost has begun to #thaw in the north.
“When the permafrost thaws, it also leads to more water on the surface, and this development is underway,” explains Platt.

@Pollinators Before he died, my friend / colleague Toby Hemenway wrote this wonderful story about #beavers (we published it in the magazine, too).
"As Bill Mollison has observed, everything gardens. The beaver, however, goes far beyond simple #gardening to feats of complex #ecosystem transformation. Beaver don’t merely build dams that create #ponds. They control the flow of vast amounts of energy and material. With tough incisors and instinct, beavers create a shifting mosaic of moist and dry meadows, wet forests, #marshes, #bogs, streams, and open water that change the climate, nutrient flow, vegetation, wildlife, #hydrology, and even #geology of entire #watersheds." https://tobyhemenway.com/150-the-watershed-wisdom-of-the-beaver/ #permculture -

Flark (Pedology 🟤)
A flark is a depression or hollow within a bog. Flarks typically occur as a series of parallel depressions, separated by intervening ridges known as strings.Early theories suggested that flarks were formed by frost heaving, but flarks have since been found in areas where frost heaving does not occur. Flarks are now thought to form when the peat that forms the base of the bog beco...

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS BLOGPOST:
The artist, Paul Kane, came west with the York Factory Express in 1846. This post tells the story of his crossing of the prairies with the Express, via the #Saskatchewan and the North Saskatchewan Rivers. I still haven't figured out why they were crossing the prairies so late in the year.... #History #CanadaHistory #SKHistory #Bogs #Books http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-2/ -
This is growing in one of my bog planters. I don't have a bog!
This one is *S. purpurea*, or mostly so. I used to some horticultural hybrids with Southeastern species, but they've died out.
I made these up in 2012 in a workshop at a nursery that, at the time, at least, specialized in bog plants, among other native plants. I've added to them over the years.
