Utricularia subulata, is a perennial terrestrial bladderwort. Tiny bladder traps form in the soil to catch and digest small organisms. It flowers in early spring, and can appear in mass, as a delightful yellow carpet.

This #sundewsunday we look at how resilient sundews are. Even when the mother plant dies back to the roots, it still finds enough energy to push forward new life. Because life finds a way, they will often create a mound of sundews in the wild continually growing over each other.

Excited to grow sarracenia! Bundled up in the refrigerator for the next 4-8 weeks.
FUN FACT: they were planted 7/27, a way to celebrate St. Pete local businesses!
