You mentioned the Sweet Flag - I looked it up, I've never identified it before, but I think we saw it along the Manistee River Trail last month. I didn't know what it was and I have just one picture of it. I will keep a look out for Sweet Flag.<br />I didn't make it to Saul Lake bog this year, I have been to Lost Lake at the Muskegon State Park, it is lovely.<br />I'm in Ottawa County, too. Thanks for the interest.<br />:)Plants Amaze Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146268920352124853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-22190941243797398292013-09-07T08:50:57.040-04:002013-09-07T08:50:57.040-04:00My husband and I are looking to go to Saul Lake to...My husband and I are looking to go to Saul Lake today to check out the bog. Have you been to the bog at Muskegon State Park? It's very lovely. Lots of sundews and pitcher plants there. While on the note of wet areas, have you ever come across sweet flag (acorus calamus) while on your explorations? It is one plant that is supposedly common in Muskegon, Ottawa (that's where I am), and Kent counties, but I've never seen it before and greatly desire to.

That is an amazing place.<br /><br />So you are a Jazz Saxophonist and a Storm Chaser, I see you sprained your ankle, too bad, but it is a good day to stay inside.<br /><br />What you wrote about the Lamberton Lake Fen and Saul Lake Bog was very interesting. I don't think we have Lamberton Lake Fen figured out. And to go out on the bog when you were a kid, yikes!<br /><br />Thanks again :)Plants Amaze Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146268920352124853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-69673105621827194502012-01-02T19:34:02.739-05:002012-01-02T19:34:02.739-05:00Two great places!

Lamberton Lake Fen does indeed harbor a rare wildflower, and years ago, before the apartments were built back in the early 70s, it had at least one nice population of pitcher plants along Lamberton Creek.<br /><br />Saul Lake Bog is a beautiful place. When I was a kid, I made an excursion out to the island and out to the middle of the bog. The buckbean were everywhere out there, and the raw peat was littered with intermediate-leafed sundews. But it was treacherous going; you really don't want venture out there.Bobhttp://stormhorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-72597388401265638622011-06-16T19:38:52.597-04:002011-06-16T19:38:52.597-04:00M.
