Greetings,
This is my first time posting pictures. If they are too large, ban me forever.
Last Saturday I went hiking in the mountains and found my first native CP--U. macrorhiza. I took a few pictures.
The first pic is a general view of the habitat.
I found a very large colony growing in a shallow acidic pond
The plants seemed most abundant in water that had pieces of dead cattail leaves on the surface. Some of the bladderworts floated on the surface, while others snaked along the bottom of the pond.
A picture of a small plant. Some of the larger ones were 3-4 feet long.
A group of small plants. Note the shadows of trapped prey in the bladders of the bottom plant.
I'm hoping the plants will flower this summer, so I can get a some more photos.
Brian
