Large flower found singly (no obvious vegetative parts besides stem/flower) on large, moss-covered rotting log. Flower similar to one of the fabaceae or perhaps an orchid, but upon closer inspection, noticed the bladder traps attached to the stem and hidden away in the moist decomposing layer of moss/bark on the rotting wood, giving it away as one of the carnivorous terrestrial bladderworts.
