Fairie Wings and Things in Prickly Places

An Albino Echinopsis with a wing from a previous visitor. One can only wonder where it went, while missing a wing.

Home away from Home

The Marriott Marquis & Marina. This was home for three days during the bar exam.

I'm back!

Exhausted...but back in action. The mural is from the wall at Tivoli in downtown San Diego.

Where is Arnold?

...Studying for the bar. Stay tuned for more photos in August.

Utricularia sandersonii

Utricularia sandersonii (Bladderwort) growing amidst sundews. Utricularia sandersonii is one of a genus of around 227 species. These tiny carnivorous plants are part a genus noted for their trap doored bladders. The trap doors snap open to vacuum in tiny rotifers and protozoa (or larger prey, depending on the species) when the prey brushes against tiny trigger hairs. Utricularia sandersonii is native to South Africa where it grows on wet rock surfaces at 600 to 3600 ft. altitude.
