Thread-Leaved Sundew The Sundew releases a sticky liquid on the leaves and it makes them look red. Their flowers are purple with yellow centres and open one at a time. Sundews are pollinated by insects. It grows on sandy shores, and cedar swamps and dwarf-shrub bogs. The drainage of bogs has threatened the survival of the Thread-Leaved Sundew. It is officially recognized as endangered by COSEWIC.
Sweet Pepperbrush The Sweet Pepperbrush usually is pollinated by insects, but in Canada these plants are only reproducing by suckergrowth (vegetative growth without seeds.) They grow on glacial moraines on unshaded lake margins and have been crowded out by cottages and water level changes from dams. It is listed by COSEWIC as Threatened.
Golden Crest The Golden Crest grows on shorelines and is very sensitive to water levels. Lower water levels from wetland draining, cottage development and dams has put this plant in the COSEWIC Threatened Category.
