notostracan Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Does this mucous serve a function for the plant, or is this currently unknown? Do any other Utricularia spp. produce such mucous? Is it just nectar to attract pollinators? If it is nectar - it looks like a lot! Either way, looks beautiful, nice pics :).
