	Bladderwort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bladderwort is the common name given to the plants of the genus Utricularia, the largest genus of carnivorous plants.
		Bladderworts are cultivated for their flowers which are often compared with snapdragons and orchids.
		Bladderworts are unusual and highly specialised plants: they have no roots, and their simple structure makes distinguishing between leaf, shoot, and stem seem arbitrary.

	Swollen Bladderwort (Utricularia inflata) - A non-native Plant in Washington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Washington's native bladderworts do not have this "floating wheel" to support their flowers, but when not flowering our native bladderwort and swollen bladderwort are very similar in appearance.
		The swollen bladderwort infestation in Washington appears to be in a pioneering stage.
		Washington is also home to several native bladderwort species and these plants can be readily distinguished from other aquatic plants by the small, round, seed-like structures (bladders) that are interspersed throughout the green foliage.

	Hungry utrics - the bladderwort
		Bladderworts can be so attractive that avid utrickers grow and propagate as many species as they are able to find, then swap them or buy other varieties from fellow enthusiasts.
		Aquatic bladderwort foliage is delicate and fern-like, but when hundreds of strands are bunched together, they form dense, compact mats in shallow water.
		Furthermore, a large colony of bladderwort creates a miniature aquatic jungle, so even without the enticement of dissolved scent, the tangled mass of plant stems is filled with small animals going about their everyday activities.

		ECOLOGICAL NOTES: This bladderwort is found in quiet waters of lakes, rivers, and marshes.
		Bladderworts are carnivorous plants that derive their name from the small bladders used to capture minute animal life.
		The bladders have "trigger hairs" which, when brushed by a small aquatic invertebrate, cause the bladder to rapidly inflate and draw in the unfortunate organism.

		The individual species of bladderworts are difficult to discern without careful examination of their white or yellow emersed flowers with their snapdragon spur looks.
		The biggest gripe of and with bladderworts is "hair" algae, usually a matter of a lack of sufficient iron with an abundance of other mineral nutrients.

		Bladderworts are considered to have the most complex insect traps of all the carnivorous plants.
		Larger animals, such as small tadpoles or mosquito larvae, may be caught by their tails and start to be digested alive by larger species, then caught over and over again as the prey’s agonized thrashing triggers the trap again, and again.
		This is due, in part, to the type of environment some bladderworts live in.

		Some of its underwater parts bear numerous tiny bladders, each with a trap door and a hair-like trigger, that capture and digest minute water organisms, such as insect larvae and tiny crustaceans.
		Like showier and more well-known carnivorous plants such as the Venus flytrap, bladderworts have evolved to get certain nutrients, such as nitrogen, from tiny organisms rather than from the soil or water.
		The reason is that the acidic environments in which they usually grow tend to be poor in such nutrients.
