Thos carnivorous aquatic plant Utricularia is beautiful. I think it has very intense colors. It is a unique plant that is not easy to see.

This is incredible because sometimes I've asked to myself if these aquatic plants can think, because it's incredible the way they produce those small bags to trap small animals.
