(Utricularia radiata). Montgomery County, Texas.
I found this interesting carnivorous plant blooming in a large emergent wetland in the Pineywoods. The plant gets its name from the bladder-like chambers that it utilizes to capture prey beneath the water.

I've never seen so many in one place! Thousands of these tiny carnivorous plants covered the pond.
Suffolk County, New York
Usually visible only by its flowers, this carnivorous bladderwort (Utricularia odorata) possesses tiny underground traps which enable it to consume small invertebrates in the wet soil. Kampot, Cambodia.
Trying out my new homemade photo tank rig! I pulled a grey tree frog tadpole and bladderwort plant out of the pond to test it out. I have to say i am very excited about the result, for a first timer! There were clearer images from this bunch, but i really like the movement in this one!

Inflated Bladderwort (Utricularia inflata). New Marsh, Patuxent Research Refuge, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Clearing out the memory cards filled while on Mull earlier this month I discovered these otter images that brought back such happy memories that I could not delete them so decided to upload a few and share in the hope you too might share our experience. We had made two earlier trips to Mull in previous years and not seen an otter.
Believe me otters are not everywhere as the publicity would have you believe but they are there is you are lucky enough to spot them and that is the difficult part
They blend so well with the bladderwort so that unless they move you stand little chance of seeing them as I hope these images show.
This one exited the water and decided to dry out at a distance that challenged my lens but I was so pleased to have this opportunity and was so excited my hands were trembling more than they normally do.
Too much excitement at my age - what ever next
Utricularia leptoplectra is a terrestrial or subaquatic carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia (family Lentibulariaceae). It is endemic to Australia with a distribution in the Northern Territory from the area around Darwin, east to the Arnhem Land plateau, south to Katherine, and west to the western Kimberley region in Western Australia.
Utricularia menziesii
The first of the season. At the moment there are only a few but soon there will be more.

"Utricularia, commonly and collectively called the bladderworts, is a genus of carnivorous plants consisting of approximately 233 species (precise counts differ based on classification opinions; one recent publication lists 215 species).[1] They occur in fresh water and wet soil as terrestrial or aquatic species across every continent except Antarctica. Utricularia are cultivated for their flowers, which are often compared with those of snapdragons and orchids, especially amongst carnivorous plant enthusiasts." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utricularia
Had a lovely walk through Fish Creek Provincial Park in Calgary today, and saw some unique wildflowers. The Hemlock is said to be highly poisonous. The Scentless Camomile, while pretty, is a much-hated invasive weed. We don't have a lot of water plants in Calgary, and so it was nice to see the Common Bladderwort. Smooth Fleabane is not an uncommon wildflower, but still pretty to see.
Not positive on ID. The flowers look very similar to common yellow bladderwort, but were much smaller.
Nassau County, New York
These beautiful little flowers belong to a terrestrial or subaquatic perennial herb which is found in wet sand and in shallow water. It's found in a narrow coastal strip from SE Qld to just south of Sydney and is a carnivorous plant. These were growing in Girraween National Park and Greenlands in the Granite Belt in SE Qld.
a wonderful sight...when the bladderwort blooms in the bay !!!!
from a few days ago...and the last two pics are done with my little camera...with some macro detail....
A bog in Acadia National Park literally aglow with Utricularia purpurea. On the sphagnum islands were patches of Drosera rotundifolia and Pogonia ophioglossoides

Bladderworts are carnivorous plants that use their namesake bladders to kill prey.
Glands inside the bladders absorb water and create a partial vacuum. If a small creature brushes certain bristles on the bladder's outside, a door is activated, and water rushes in, carrying the prey item with it. The same water also pushes the door closed again. Other glands then dissolve the prey. Within a couple of hours, a partial vacuum is formed again.

Pinguicula is a genus of carnivorous plants that trap small insects on their leaves to use as a type of "fertilizer" since they live nutrient poor soils. This plant is growing on pumice rock.
