I too had a wonderfull time on the trip to CC and the Mendo bog with

Derek, Matt and Tina. I told them it was a 1-1.5 Hr. trip from my house
it took an hour and a half they have described the trip well so I won't
add anything except they harrased me about the trail markers I used to
find everything:'). I went back the next day with Joe Mazrimas and
Larry Logoteta and I didn't see your roll of film Derek.

D. capensis must emit some kind of growth inhibitor because I have

watched them take over most of the standing water at that bog and even

though there is plenty of room the D. rotundafolia seem to die the pools

of water where at one time as full of D. rotundafolia as they now are of

D. capensis. Any one know how I could go about checking for growth

inhibitors? I am thinking about trying to remove all of the D. capensis

from a pool of water and see if I can get the D. rotundafolia

re-established.
