Terrestrial Bladderworts (Utricularia)

Utricularia sandersonii

Terrestrial Bladderworts (Utricularia) are easy to grow and produce profusions of flowers.  Their small bladders feed on various swimming and crawling creatures that inhabit their soil like fungus gnat larvae and tiny worms.  They produce carpets of short stolons along the soil surface that look like tiny blades of grass pressed flat to the ground.  Terrestrial bladderworts will grow happily alongside many carnivorous plants in bogs.
