Utricularia cornuta
A terrestrial or semi-aquatic bladderwort of bogs, fens and wet, peaty or sandy lakeshores in eastern North America, Cuba and the Bahamas. Its threadlike leaves and tiny traps stay hidden in wet peat, and in summer it sends up bright yellow flowers with a long, horn-like spur. Grow it like a bog plant: full sun, wet peat and sand, soft water and a cold winter.
Where it grows wild
It grows in bogs, fens, swamps, wetland margins and the shores of rivers and lakes, in peaty, mucky or sandy ground that is saturated or shallowly flooded. It is an obligate wetland plant. The traps sit in the wet substrate and catch tiny soil and water animals.
It is mainly a lowland plant, from sea level into low uplands.
