An interesting report, Paul.  I believe that Rhexia virginica is one of =
the endangered Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora so I'm sure that the ACPF =
recovery team would appreciate knowing the whereabouts of this location. =
 Do you know if the Island is privately-owned or whether it is crown =
land?
We have just returned from a Wild Flora trip to the SW parts of the =
Province and saw many of the ACPF species - I just wish I was a more =
accomplished photographer so that I could record more of what we saw!
Thanks for your very interesting report!!

Cheers,
Bob McDonald

  Hi All
  Yesterday we took a paddle on a small lake. It hardly=20
  qualifies as a lake just a wide part of the river!
  The water is low and lots of Islands, points and near islands.
  A good time to discover deep water - knowledge that will
  be useful during fishing time.
  One small island - the size of a medium sized house was covered with
  Meadow-beauty flowers - Virginia probably Rhexia virginica. The Island
  is just high enough the water only goes over it when its high. As it =
sort of
  is in the run between two lakes the ice cakes keep the vegetation =
under control
  and obviously provides excellent habitat for Meadow- beauty.=20
  Very lovely  - I cann't remember any other spot so cover with them.
  An old pine tree nearby had recently been struck by lightning. Anyone
  wishing to know why not to stand under a big tree in a T&L storm need
  look no further. It had taken a 2X10 out of the side - but it hadn't =
planed
  it - just threw it against a maple tree a few meters away.
  Meadow-beauty were on Lunch Island also. Not as many but I've
  seen them there before. They grow there just at the top of the grass =
in
  the gravel at the base of the bank.
  We also saw some Bladderwort - some Horned on the shore and a few
  Swollen out in about 30 cms of water. There was some Purple =
Bladderwort
  also in the water.
  A perfect day for a paddle.
  Get out and enjoy the flowers!
  Paul
