"Is the south (Alabama)a good climate for outdoor bogs ?"

Absolutely, in fact Alabama has lots of natural bogs and some great bog preserves. Try googleing "Splinter Hill Bog", "Minimac", "Weeks Bog Preserve" or "Coosa Bog Preserve". Three of the most threatened native North American CPs are native to Albama S. alata, S. rubra ssp. alabamensis (Canebrake pitcher plant) and S. oreophila.

Here are a couple bog guides

Another Bog
and here's a UK Links page for creating bogs.

There are tons of other bog gardening sites on the web if you search for them.

Good luck and have fun!

I have two outdoor bogs in Huntsville. The pitchers do GREAT here...you might have trouble with flytraps, which are more demanding. I had some that lasted for years, but only in pots. Once moved, they didn't seem to last as long... (In this case, it's probably the overwintering period that gets them.)

Even with the sphagnum and sand, and two pre-fab pools filled with same, the varying temps here (I'm talking mostly hot summers) tend to put the kibosh on a lot of sundews and terrestrial bladderworts.

But as for pitchers...

If I had every baby of every pitcher I'd ever had, I'd have to move out of my home for lack of room. I've got offspring here of original pitchers from the mid-1980's.
