A bladderwort garden
Growing just a few feet away, in a quiet bit of shallow water, the U. floridana was joined
by U. cornuta and delightful pink-purple U. resupinata
flowers.
To take this photograph
I had to kneel down on the bank of the river, by a disturbed fire ant nest. Waiting for a windless moment meant
brushing the ants off of me as they swarmed up my legs. I was not 100% successful at keeping them off
me, and Beth chided me for my stupid fire-ant dance.
I suffered about a dozen or so nasty stings---two weeks later, the
marks have yet to heal.
