carni-gardener:

The beautiful looking flowers of the Utricularia (or bladderworts) almost hides what happens below the surface. The roots of these plants contain bladder-like traps which can suck in tiny bugs to feed themselves. The bladderworts you see here are some I would like to own myself one day: U. bisquamata, U. sandersonii, U. longifolia, U. subulata, U. fulva and U. reniformis.
