a goose family feasting on the bladderwort in a nearby bay..... the colour will last for a few weeks.
I have not managed to get a decent photo of the tiny flowers. wet feet and mosquito bites are hazards....
yesterday morning's walk also involved
haze and heat and humidity . I found a tiny pink flower beside this bay which I did not manage to identify last year...and no luck so far this year.
I have included an uninteresting pic of the leaves of this plant, if that might help.
Le Silène enflé, Silène commun ou Claquet (Silene vulgaris) est une plante herbacée vivace de la famille des Caryophyllacées.
This wildflower is a rarity, Carnivorous Plant, is protected by Gov.
The scape is only 7-15cm, petal's length is 3-7mm. It was not so easy to take some pictuure of them, overmore by my compact toy.
Utricularia bifida L
It may be the commonest of the UK's 'carnivorous' bladderworts but I have never knowingly found a pond covered with a carpet of its bright yellow flowers before. Bedfordshire, UK
It's amazing the diversity of plants there is in ponds i have been exploring for years already and have failed to notice! So far in the past couple weeks i have found 3 species of bladderworts in flower, with minimal effort! The hot weather has caused the herp activity to slow down considerably, so a quest to see some of Long Island's 12 (?) species of carnivorous plants has been fun lately!

When you near the dam on the north end of Turkey Pond, everything gets still, serene and you can't hear route 89 anymore. At last, I found some silence. I love the bright green line at the waterline. And the tiny bladderwort floating in the corner.
At 2200m elevation. Rarely, U humboldtii is observed in a non-epiphytic environment as observed here. The constant water of this small pool (an offset of a constant flowing stream) provides adequate habitat to support trap development and flowering.
Primrose butterwort
Lentibulariaceae (Bladderwort family)
Native to the southeastern United States
Oʻahu, Hawaii (Cultivated)
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.

Bladderwort - Utricularia menziesii
An insectivorous plant which traps tiny aquatic insects in its root system comprising "bladders" which are joined to a central tuber or corm via stolons. Each bladder has a trigger which, when fired, sucks in the insect with water and digests it. The flower only attracts insects for pollination purposes, the "pitcher"-like appendage does not apparently act as an insect trap. (thanks to esperancewildflowers.blogspot.com.au)

Purple Bladderwort (Utricularia purpurea). Deep East Texas.
Utricularia purpurea is an aquatic, carnivorous plant that inhabits much of the Eastern United States. It barely enters Texas in the extreme southeast portion of the state, where it is rare.
Utricularia purpurea was one of my 2017 biodiversity goals. To read more about these goals and my pursuit of this species check out my blog by clicking here.

Lake County, Indiana. White water lily (Nymphaea odorata) and purple bladderwort (Utricularia purpurea) in flower. The large floating leaves are water lily leaves, and the smaller ones are the leaves of water shield (Brasenia schreberi), which is not in flower here. The bladderwort leaves are completely submerged; they are finely dissected on which their aquatic creature-catching bladders are located. Purple bladderwort is listed as state threatened.

They're very small and would easily be missed by most, but I knew where a clump of them had been growing and went looking. Unfortunately some over-zealous people had cleared the roadside area where they had been growing last year and thus killed them all off. But then, walking back along a different path of the Celery Pine Forest today, I spotted these plants growing in the moss. Sundew are carnivorous plants that derive some or most of their nutrients by trapping and consuming animals such as insects or other arthropods. In New Zealand we have Drosera (sundews) - seven native species - and Utricularia (bladderworts) - three native species.

A Lesser Bladderwort Utricularia minor flower, with a guest.
Lesser Bladderwort is an unusual carnivorous plant, which is quite uncommon, and this is why I thought people might be interested in it. It's probably often overlooked, because often it doesn't flower, and the flowers are tiny, with most of the plant being below the surface.
For more information see my blog.
