例会の帰途、深泥池に立ち寄りました。トンボの姿は見えませんでしたが、タヌキモの花が湖面一面に黄色く広がり、壮観でした。食虫植物としてよく知られた藻ですが、湖面一面に広がる様子からは、絶滅危惧種のひ弱さは感じられません。
On the way back from the observation excursion, we stopped by Mizorogaike Pond. There were no dragonflies in sight, but the yellow flowers of the Tanukimo, bladderworts of Utricularia family, spreading all over the lake were spectacular. This is well known as an insectivorous plant on the Red List, but the way it spread all over the lake did not give us an impression of an endangered species.
