Flower Motif: Bladderwort (Utricularia)

Flower Meaning: Trickery

Weapon of Choice: Hand Mounted Gatling Guns

Associated With: Interdimensional Hero Club (Ally)

Hero Form Appearance: A hybrid of a tiny general's costume and YuYuYu’s Hero Form Outfits. The undersuit of the outfit is a dark space black, acting as a good contrast. And while the main outfit starts out as a bladderwort yellow, it becomes a dark green starting at the lower half of the sleeves, the lower half of the pants, and the tailcoat. Accent colors are purple, teal, black, gray, silver, gold, and white. The shoes, gloves, chest piece, ship, and belt all have patterns of bladderworts on them, and the only other accessory is a pin on her head that looks eerily like the flower. The flower’s petal shape can be seen in the tailcoat and collar.

Full Bloom Gauge Location: Left Fist

Guardian: Repti (Based on the Reptilians)

Favorite Food: Cheese Puffs

Parallel To: None

Bio: Eve's purpose in life is to mother and protect her precious babies! She'll do whatever it takes to find them a good home... preferably in Ruffs' fur.

Two new plants for THE BOG! Left is Sarracenia purpurea spp. venosa which will turn an awesome red in the sun, and the right is another venus flytrap—specifically the B-52 cultivar (named by coincidence) that produces exceptionally large traps. Very excited to see both of them flourish.

California Carnivores was also kind enough to add a whole little container of Utricularia (Bladderwort) to my order for free when I messaged them asking after it, and I've added a bunch to the bog and some to my indoor sundew container as well. Bladderworts are very neat carnivorous plants that have tiny underground bubble bladders that vacuum up small organisms that trigger their traps! They also frequently flower and make for a very cute field of tiny orchid-esque blooms. I'm hoping to grow a bunch to carpet my bog.

Lastly, the beginning of a small indoor Pinguicula (or Butterwort) garden! These are also sticky carnivorous plants, and they produce very cute flowers on tall stalks. I think pings are really cute, and I'm hoping these do well on my windowsill. I'm going to try to get the substrate coated in moss, as well as add some hardscape decorations later. If I get them in enough light, the biggest one should turn purple! Some of these also turn into succulents in wintertime.

The Bladderworts are some of my favorite native plants for home aquariums - the little sesame seed looking parts are gas filled sacs used for capturing and eating tiny animals!

Networt (Neoutricularia gigantea)

A true giant compared to it's terran bladderwort cousins. Networt is as dependent on fishermen as are they are to this plant. It grows sturdy traps to capture fish but not digest them for fishermen to take, but also grows snap-chambers for fishermen to deposit guts/scraps for the plant to digest. The floral spurs are often used as grapple/tie points for ease of handling.

While wild untended-to Networt can be very rarely found in some places, they hardly thrive as well as the ones cared for by fishermen and tend to be significantly smaller and weaker.
