Bladderwort (Utricularia quelchii)

Here on Roraima I found these flowering plants to be quite inaccessible in contradiction to the Utricularia humboldtii on the open sabana. They were either in a dark place, in a narrow crevice or simply out of reach. The ones that did seem to be well placed to photograph were either cut, bruised or simply past their prime, so despite plenty of flowers I was not in luck as far as getting a good shot…

Native range is the Guyana Shield.
