B is for Bladderwort



Bladderwort beauty: 

Whorls resemble a birdcage,

Leaves tipped with bladders






Buoyant and bobbing,

Brilliant in the sun's beam,

Rooted base absent






Bristles get triggered,

Blitzing bugs into their bags

To break down and eat








Badass bladderworts!

Preying on beasts and helping

Lake and benthic health.
