Hitchhikers in LFS or peat?

Carnivore
Not sure if this has ever been discussed here before, but what hitchhiker plants do you guys find in your LFS, peat etc? more common, less common? i’m wondering if anyone has had drosera, utrics, sarracenia, or weeds that showed up in their mix without having access to any nearby sources of seed? a couple of my seedling cups that i sewed specific plants on are either growing weeds that don’t look carnivorous, with one pot growing what looks to be some kind of utric or grass, growing on a pot i sewed some tokaiensis seeds on. One of my D. anglica cups sprouted some unknown sarracenia, too. I have no memory of accidentally spilling seeds around hah. All while under a humidity dome and away from any flowers that could have carried seeds thru wind.. Thoughts? did i just happen to win the hitchhiker lottery? pls share your favourite low nutrient hitchhikers if you’d like to
 
I have had so many different plants growing from peat moss and sphagnum moss. Usually you don't get carnivorous plants unless the substrate is from another grower or previously had carnivorous plants in them.
I keep the cool looking ones like the ferns, Xyridaceae, rush. Sometimes you get bog orchids too.

If I got a bog orchid as a hitchhiker I would be so freaking happy
