I gently massaged and rinsed the "stolons" of the Utricularia hoping to find the bladders. Not sure exactly what I am looking at. I believe the species may be U. subulata.
The name "Bladder" derives from the fact that the plant bladderwort grew there. Boniface Lane running alongside the meadow used to be called Bladder Lane, but the name was changed after a request from St Boniface RC School on the lane because they were embarrassed by the original name.

William Cadge FRCS, 49 years surgeon to the Norfolk & Norwich hospital, who died June 25th 1903 aged 8
His brilliant talents as a surgeon, his great sympathy with suffering, his invariable kindness and courtesy have prompted his professional brethren in many lands to dedicated the above window to his memory www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/K53V81
William Cadge (1822-1903) was born into a family of farmers at Hoveton, Norfolk.
(William studied at University College Hospital, London where he was appointed assistant surgeon in 1850, however he had to resign due to ill health.
In 1854 he was elected assistant surgeon to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and retired in 1890.
After a period of failing health he died at Lowestoft on June 29th, 1903. He was buried by the side of his wife at Earlham, near Norwich, the Mayor and Sheriffs of Norwich, among others, attending the funeral. He had married the sister of Richard Quain ; there were no children and she had predeceased him many years.
He left over £110,000, and made bequests of £5000 to the Norwich Hospital and £1000 to Epsom School. The Earl and Countess of Leicester added a like donation of £5000 to the hospital in his memory. arts.nnuh.nhs.uk/heritage.php?p=387 livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/biogs/E000833b.htm )- Norwich cathedral
Usually, when I see Campion flowers, they are either closed or in really poor condition. This one wasn't too bad, though I didn't take a very well-balanced photo of it : ). It is an introduced species from Eurasia and grows along roadsides and waste areas.

Use six glasses of freshly chilled water. As recently emptied bladder and a toilet! See how many glasses of water it takes to fill your bladder. Drink the water slowly one glass after the other. Result: I have a very small bladder and could only drink nearly three glasses as seen here. But it's very healthy for you though!
We travelled south from Cenote Cristalino heading towards Tulum, the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Cobá. It was hot and so we pulled over at the top of the long entrance to "Parque Nacional Tulum" to get something to drink. The roadside cantina was called the Hotel Y Restaurant El Crucero and everyone there was glued to to the lone television to the right. It appeared to be a lawn sports Eisteddfod of some sort, with two teams of men engaged in quaint competition, chasing a synthetic pigs bladder and falling down, acting hurt, in the hope accumulating sufficient performance points to win a coverted rosette. Apparently it was called the FIFA World Cup Final 2014 and, as it was towards the end of the final chukka, we decided to stay and watch. One beer led to another and then to Nachos and then on to more beer. We never got to see Tulum, and headed back to our resort at Xcaret. Oh, and I think the team in white won the game. Viva-Whites-Viva!!
I have gall bladder problems, from time to time, and have had two mild-moderate attacks in 3 days. I decided to make the soup from gallbladderattack.com to see if it would help.

Bladder pod or Isomeris arborea is a lovely, strongly resilient flowering plant. This one flowered in a dry year with no supplemental water. For more information, go to Las Pilitas: www.laspilitas.com/nature-of-california/plants/isomeris-a...
A common mid-shore seaweed, often dominating large areas, the bladder Wrack has distinctive pairs of gas-filled bladders on its fronds, on either side of the prominent midrib. The bladders help the frond to reach sunlight at high tide, when light penetration is limited by sediment stirred up by waves. In season, the tips of the fronds develop swollen, warty, forked reproductive bodies.

This variety is a bit different from the previous point. I found a large patch of these near an old reservoir. A picture of this is in the comments.
Oxford, CT USA
Chelsea, London SW3: this bladder senna genus Colutea is a decorative bushwhich had been identified by OPHIS, a flickr botany enthusiast from Old England (MA) whose stream is certainly worth a visit.
Thank you OPHIS.
For more information about this Colutea Arborescens see:
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM (bladder) - these cells will change shape depending of whether the organ is stretching or relaxing. The pointed is pointing the apical surface of the epithelial cell. These cells appear squamous-like but deeper cells appear more cuboidal or columnar.

Hi Alan
You poor guy. Not a lot of luck. I hope you are not too sore after those bangs. Take care. Hopefully our paths will cross at some point soon. I was due to have another bladder check under G/A on 5th November but that has now been postponed to 19th and then 26th November. It is a pain all this hanging around anticipating as I am sure you know far too well.
Best wishes

Hello John
Glad you enjoyed your Kent viist. Our son is a Friend of the Secret Garden and we go there every time that we have stayed with him in Sandwich Bay or now Sandwich. It is only just along the road from Sir Roger Manwood Scool where he teaches and now also lives.
We had an IoW excellent foray with wonderful weather and a good turn out. I have made a lot of great friends there over the years. We have a total of well over 200 species at Briddlesford Copse on the Saturday whilst the total for Sunday at Parkhurst Forest looks likely to go over 150 once all the identifications are in and this foray is only until 13.30 so those from the mainland can get the ferry and get home in reasonable time. That way I and others are then able to set things up dropping spores over-night etc. I then spent three days identifying the following week! There were also some excellent finds with many new to the IoW. Following my arrival at lunchtime on Friday four of us went to Culver Down in the hope of seeing the Ring Ouzels that had been there the previous two days, or one of the regular Peregrines. We didn't get either but had a good list of fungi there as well including an inkcap species on cow dung pats that I have identified as Coprinopsis pseudonivea with only 26 previous UK records and of course new to IoW as were two other species. This set the pattern for the weekend as there were plenty of other exciting finds. When I was first shown the bracket fungus Phellinus robustus in the New Forest some 20+ years ago it was only known on that single tree in the UK. There are still only some half dozen trees there and just two other UK sites known for this species so this was a surprise find at Bridddlesford. It will take some time before I have all the records in from others who visited for the weekend but it certainly looks like being the most successful ever in terms of good finds.
You are correct in thinking that you are incorrect that the Woburn Fungi are Russula!! Russula's do not grow in clumps and nor do they have aring on the stem (note the one standing up in the c/u) apart from a host of other reasons! This is definitely a Honey Fungus Armillaria sp. but I cannot see the detail of the ring nor the base of the stalk both of which would be necessary to ascertain the species with certainly. As such it could be either Armillaria mellea or A. ostoyae as the two most likely options!.
I went to Colworth Park to lead a lunchtime foray for Helen M-H and the Unilever NHS last Wed but as it was raining heavily I gave them a slide presentation instead as arranged just before I was about to leave here! On the way there a lorry overtook a parked vehicle on his side of the road when there clearly was not sufficient room. He clipped my wing mirror and totally removed the one on the parked vehicle. I had already had to take evasive action, hit the kerb and the bumper apron detached from my car also damaging the inner plastic mudguard. The rain, and the speed at which it happened and the need to avoid a major collision left me no opportunity to get his number and by the time I could safely open my door and get out he was way down the road. It has proved to be an expensive free lecture! I am not best pleased. Two days later a women backed her car out on the Forecourt at Clifton Post Office without looking and knocked me over as I innocently walked to the pillar box. If I hadn't hammered on her boot she would have run me over as well! She must have seen me coming as she was getting into her car as I saw her do so but she slammed her door, started up and reversed all in one move. She had not even put her seat belt on! It was not a good week!
I have a foray at Harpenden Common on Wednesday morning. Next Sunday to Tues there will be a big display etc on Fungi at Ashridge by the monument. I will be 'on duty' on the Monday. The BNHS/ RSPB Foray at Sandy, always a big one, on 3 Nov will be my last of the season.
Best wishes
Alan

The bladder was packed with stones that had formed over several months. There was barely any room for urine - no wonder the dog was so uncomfortable! Once we got the stones out, the bladder was still very thick and enlarged. The bladder wall (normally only millimeters in thickness) was about 1/2 inch thick. The inflammation should resolve with continued antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment. It will probably take several more weeks. Hopefully, we can prevent the recurrence of stones with careful diet planning.
