Don't fall in!
In this closer view,
especially on the right side,
you can see the sucked-in, prey-anticipating shape of the bladders.
I am enthralled by the symmetry of these leaves.
I also found
U. geminiscapa, but it just wasn't as photogenic. (In other words,
none of my images came out well.) That's a real pity since
it was the first time I had ever seen the species.
Having gotten thoroughly mucked up at this site, I jumped into my rental
car and immediately left great glistening smear trails of pond
muck all over the interior. (Fortunately, the really egregious marks were
only by my feet, so I figured I would
probably not get a cleaning bill from
Dollar Rent-A-Car.) I zipped off to a friend's house to see his collection
of cultivated plants.
