A botanical carnivore:
While my fellow
humans were in alligator-thrall, my attention was
drawn to this lovely aquatic stand of Utricularia foliosa waving
in the gently flowing water. In the words of Steve Irwin,
"Look at the SIZE of those PLANTS! Wow! They look REALLY MAD! What
would happen if I POKED them with a STICK!? To tiny aquatic
organisms, THESE plants are REALLY DANGEROUS!"
For scale, the width of
this picture spans a distance of around 4.5 meters (15 feet). These
are large carnivorous plants. And they're REALLY MAD!!!
