The discovery of a plant thought to be extinct in the Island is causing ripples in the world of botany.
A living bladderwort has been discovered in a pond at Ballaugh Curraghs, the first time it's been seen in 15 years.
It's a carniverous plant, feeding off tiny water-bourne organisms and is proof the Island's bio diversity is both healthy and expanding.
The bladderwort was found by Manx wild flower expert Andre Dubbeldam yesterday (Monday).
He says the discovery is very good news:
