Radiant Radiata, Part 1

This magnificent specimen of a native Floating Bladderwort really brings home how much more refined it is compared to the grotesquely huge Swollen Bladderwort. 

Those floats holding up the flower stem are only about 3" across, from end to end. Very delicate, and absolutely radiant in the fall sunshine. 

It's sometimes hard to spot because of its small size, but the way it breaks the surface tension of the water surface is a tell tale sign that something needs a closer look.
