One of the many spectacular giant "Orchid" bladderworts from South America, this species is particularly famous for inhabiting the water-filled urns of bromeliads and other epiphytic plants, forming loose clumps of stolons covered in large bladder traps and tall, peltate umbrella-like leaves within the pools and spreading stolons that reach up and out into new territories (give it lots of space or it'll colonize other pots). Slight variations in seasonal conditions may result in very tall stalks that will sport one to several big, bright purple/white/yellow flowers that can sometimes be self-pollinated and produce strange papery seeds with already-green baby plants within.
Available plants are small plugs containing actively branching stolons, may or may not have leaves present due to the spreading nature of the plant.
