utricularia flowers ?

 

[MH1]

The last one is a U. livida, but after that, absolutely no clue!

The 1st two look like the turtle shells of RSS's nemesis & the 3rd needs to continue to open ...

Is the first graminifolia like this (from cpuk)?

first two are graminifolia, last is livida.

number 3, i am more inclined to suggest Utricularia arenaria (A.DC.) based on spur length relative to lower lip. If it is indeed U. arenaria, it appears to be a species that is capable of self pollination and will set seeds in peoples collections. Verses U. livida that does not appear to self pollinate....

Pictures 1 & 2 are the same flower, different angle. They sprang up in my U. longifolia pot, but clearly are not.Here's a picture from this morning:

Picture 3 is in a pot from D. auriculata and it never opened up any further. Another bud will be opening soon.

Are you sure it's not Utricularia uliginos?

wow.. mobile and Jim, what do you guys keep your water levels at? And do you prefer peat, or LFS as a media?

 

[mobile]

I've always grown U. graminifolia as an emergent, in peat/sand mix:

Ugly Nora? Nah.... haven't had in the collection for years. LOL! I'm not sure of anything.

Mass Generally speaking, I put utrics in a combination of peat, sand, and LFS and try to keep the water table on the high side, or at least allow for variation.

 

[jimscott]

Could it be U. arenaria?

Is D. ariculata rare? It sprang up in my mini bog
