A dew-covered blossom of a little bog bladderwort - another carvivorous plant native to the southeast. Most of this plant (including the bladders that catch the invertebrates) is underground. The blossoms are maybe 1/4" tall. The blossoms are on very thin little stalks held 2 to 4 inches above the ground. I figured that if I could get a really shallow depth of field & put the stem behind the blossom, then it ought to "float" isolated in the image.
