Fish-Catching Bladderwort (Utricularia vulgaris).

A carnivorous bladderwort floating in the flood waters of the Amazon River in Colombia. It is known as Soldadito (little soldier) for its upright stature. In context at www.dixpix.ca/Amazon/flora/lamiales/index.html

2011-06-28 Vienna XXII. district (Danube-Oder canal, 150 msm Quadrant 7865/1).German name: Gross-WasserschlauchID (provisionally): Fischer & al., Exkursionsflora (2008 3rd); I really should re-check for all relevant features of this one again, but I think what we've got here indeed is the rarer cousin of Utricularia vulgaris. Update 2011-12-17: I checked on that one some weeks after the photo was taken, and could confirm U. australis. The leaves you can see in front of the flower are of course of Myriophyllum spicatum; only to the left you can just make out some Utricularia leaves.

2010.07.11 N, Schrems (pond in abandoned peat-ditch, 539 m AMSL).Rare.Flowering from june till august.German name: Klein-WasserschlauchID: Fischer & al., Exkursionsflora (2008 3rd); see also leaves of other specimens in the very same habitat here and here; and see also remarks here, another specimen of the same species in another habitat which lies close to this one; here too I had to make an educated guess - but it's relatively safe to assume that both are of the same species, and that both are U. minor.

Yesterday we visited a spot we haven't been to for a number of years and were very happy to see most of the area hadn't changed much. It was a magnificent sight. One of the highlights is the masses of Utricularia petertaylorii flowering along the damp edges of a granite rock sheet. Photos: Fred
