I love the bladderworts when they flower en-masse. Nice pictures. Are the bladders and stolons under the surface? Or are they just on the surface of the mud after the water drained away?

These are all underground except for the flower stalks.

Pretty sure they're U.cornuta, yeah- me, purpman and jay found a cool clump of them growing in this little spring in the middle of the huge sandy beach a couple years back- it was neat, nothing but sand and about 100 yards out just a little almost "haze" of shocking yellow- we walked out there and admired them for a few minutes, and yeah, NO plant visible at all excepting for the flower stalks- almost as if you could only observe them when they were flowering, a true "stealth plant" Nice pictures!!

I'll bet that Mabudon was secretly hoping that they were a giant form of Utricularia subulata I've seen these beasts flowering en masse as well. You will also find them in the fens of the area, although not nearly as concentrated in the bay. Normally, there would not be as large a mass, as the area where they are growing would normally be underwater, but with lake levels down and the gradual slope of the bay toward deeper water, it makes for a lot more "real estate" for the plants. It's amazing just how fast these plants colonized the new "beach" that opened up as the water receded. >>> Rick <<<

I DID grow some in fire once, but it got expensive to maintain so I just went back to growing it in every pot in my collection Seriously I kinda have partially eradicated the crap, but it does that seasonal disappearance thing for me too, right when I think I've got it under control it comes back with a freakin vengeance

Maybe if you just take the leafs, the roots stay, and make other leafes... what you do to eliminate them?

You have to unpot them, wash all the medium off, repot and they come back anyways. What's really bad is they can take a long time to germinate so you can be fooled that you eliminated them.

In this list I had said that there was no green showing above the ground. Well I had a surprise last summer when I had some yellow flowers show up in some sand that I got from up north. I decided to dig out some roots and take a look. U. Cornuta roots and bladders and green part. So at lest in a pot Cornuta has some green "leaves".
