This flower has the common name large purple bladderwort (Utricularia purpurea), but it's hard to capture the color in bold sunlight - it seems to sap the color from the petals.
The messy-looking mass of brown vegetation floating beneath the flower are its leaves, stems and bladders
The plant puts up a long flower stalk that can rise above the water
or often lies along the surface like a long piece of string.
