Radiant Radiata, Part 2

A specimen of Utricularia radiata I'd collected for comparative interest, showed signs of beginning a new float and flower, so I tried to photograph it each day through its development, over a period of 8 days.

The floats start off pretty much folded inward, and slowly spread open to allow the flower to float to the surface.

    





We eventually released it gently back into the wild after appreciating its uniqueness.
