Looking very good. The little yellow flower is Utricularia subulata. Pretty little thing but a real weed at times as some of those Drosera can be.

I had to look that one up. So it's a bladderwort? Also a carnivorous plant? I thought bladderworts were basically aquatic. So how does this terrestrial form actually capture insects?

There are actually a very large number of terrestrial species, some of them quite spectacular. These small species are quite adept at catching small soil critters with their small traps.

I had someone comment on one of my other forums about some bladderworts that eat nematodes. Heck, having some that would eat nematodes would be pretty handy to have, as nematodes can be a real pest in the garden. But would those plants be able to survive in the enrichened soil of a typical garden plot?

Had the camera in hand when I walked past the mini bogs with the venus fly traps in them, so.......















Looks like several of them are going to flower this year. The sundews are going berserk producing flower stalks.

Later this afternoon Connie and I were catching small grasshoppers off of the fruit trees and feeding them to the venus flytraps. Country (huckleberry) living doesn't get any better than this!

Looks like Mr. Toad figures that those flytraps and sundews need a little help catching bugs....
