U. calycifida bladder pics

[Drosera36]

I somehow stumbled upon the bladders of my U. calycifida, and decided to take pics of them since there was a lot and they were so big. I even circled them for you guys.

Notice the little fuzzy guide hairs at the front of the traps:

This was the biggest one:

Great job, Ben!

Thanks Jim. Though, this plant hasn't been growing all that fast for me. I suppose it's because I don't keep this plant as wet as my other Utrics, which are spreading like mad.

Photoperiod is another factor.

Cept it's on a 14 hour photoperiod, and in that same photoperiod, two other Utrics grow like mad (as well as a couple of sundews).

So much for that theory! I tend to think in terms of window sills and open tray.
