Dang pretty!
Behold the lovely flower of Utricularia resupinata. Now, who wouldn't like that cute little flower!
Not to toot my own horn unduly, but I would like to point out just how challenging it was to capture this image.
It involved, among other things, lying face-down in a mucky savannah, an hour or so after noon under a very
hot Florida sun. I was lying under a hot, plastic sheet to diffuse the light and cut the wind,
which had the additional affect of creating a chokingly hot, stuffy oven.
I could only spend a few minutes at a time under the sheet before my eyes were blinded by the salty sweat dripping
into my eyes,
but for you, I'll do anything.
I also took similar shots of the foliage, but I will readily admit that they are not quite so showy! Unless you are a nut for
Utricularia, it might be best for you to resist the urge to click the hyperlinks.
