Zigzag Bladderwort (Utricularia subulata) - Whites Bog, The Pine Barrens, Pemberton, New Jersey
Many bladderworts grow webs of bladders that support them in the water, but this little guy likes damp, sandy soil barely above the water table, and grows rooted in that sandy substrate. It's parasitic "bladders" are below the surface of the sand so you won't see them unless you pull one up by the "roots", but if you poke about a bit in the sand you can see it's minute, long, slender leaves borne on basal branches hidden in the wet sand.
It also likes an acidic environment so the tannin rich waters of the Pine Barrens are idea for this litlle guy that doesn't amount to much more than a spindley reddish stalk about he diameter of a pin which is usually no more than 2 inches tall with the occasional specimen reaching a stately height of almost 3 inches!
I found these guys growing alongside a multitude of Spoon-leaved Sundew (also parasitic), along side an abandoned piece of road that got deep enough into the water table to force traffic to find an alternate route.
A bit of the science on how their trap works
Their trap is created by the semipermeable membrane in their bladder walls that uses osmotic pressure to pump water out of their bladders thereby creating a vacuum. The prey is then sucked into the bladder when it touches the trigger hairs that surround the trapdoor of the bladder. Naturally, since the vacuum is created by osmosis (which is driven by the expulsion of dissolved salts through the semipermeable membrane in their bladder walls) these guys can only survive where there are sufficient dissolved salts in the water to create enough vacuum for their bladders to function. Too much salt is also a problem, so they need very specific concentrations of salts in the water, and will often grow in very specific places (even within the same body of water) depending on the flow patterns of the salt concentrations within their environment.
Note:
Remember that calcium carbonate is a salt, so bladderworts are not restricted to brackish water environments and can also grow in "fresh" water that is high in calcium (i.e. hard water), though in the case of the bladderworts the water would have to be very "hard" to provide enough osmotic pressure for them to survive.
I'm a little ashamed that I've lived downtown so long and never gone into the creepy old buildings that are now artist lofts.

Has a very lively facade with bold zigzag motifs, Mayan fern and flower decorations and oddly shaped windows.
Continuing my series on security, this barbed wire atop a concrete block wall attracted my attention for the contrast of light and shadow, line play and texture. My favorite color combination is blue with gray and white, so this image was a natural to shoot.
This was seen along a side street off Washington Street, near Sky Harbor Airport.
Hand printed on fabric with my zig zag pattern.

The Cliffs are very steep in Bournemouth so the Zigzag is a way of getting to and from the beach Quickly, otherwise its down to the pier to get to beach. for those in wheelchairs and walking difficulty they may use the cliff lifts.

Curves and Zigzags is the third work from an ongoing series of free-standing walls that straddle painting and sculpture. Comte’s practice embraces all media with equal ferocity and she uses this series to examine what happens when two-dimensional painting is superimposed on three dimensional structure. Unlike graffiti artists her walls are built specifically for the work they carry. In Curves and Zigzags, the painting starts with a stringent geometric composition that gradually morphs into a more organic wave like pattern reminiscent of Bridget Riley optical paintings or the gardens of Burle Marx. Playing on the constant exchange of dualities – nature and culture, order and chaos, geometric and organic form – Comte’s wall suggests a walk through the shifting sands of abstraction and on to a place where beauty and contemplation sit side by side.
Hands-on training
Met behulp van een handige toolkit die bestaat uit Instructables trainden wij op 12 november 2014 onder andere docenten, schoolbegeleiders en onderwijsassistenten in het geven van deze ZigZag workshops. Op deze wijze willen we textiel-gerelateerd erfgoed levend houden en onder de aandacht brengen.
