Are these B. liniflora? They look very happy.

Are these B. liniflora? They look very happy.

Yes they are, thank you. I moved them today from the germination box to the small "greenhouse" within the large enclosed rack. Slightly less humidity, more headroom and better lighting. Wondering if I dare separate them.

 

[bluemax]

I've had luck with separating them at the size your photo shows if I carefully remove a large enough lump of soil, so as to get most of the roots. They become more delicate as they get larger, or so it seems to me. I prefer to move them small.

 

[jimscott]

I wouldn't separate them.

 

[bluemax]

Jimscott - I've gotta ask. Do I see differing flower colors in those?

 

[David F]

I could be wrong, but it looks like the angle exposure of the camera.

 

[hcarlton]

Could be the camera angle, but B. liniflora is known to have flower colors ranging from pink to indigo blue, and varying shades.

 

[Not a Number]

It's the camera angle. The adaxial and abaxial sides of flower petals on Byblis are usually different colors, with the abaxial usually a pale white. This is often the case with Pinguicula flowers too. The two genera are related.

Examples:
B. 'Goliath' × guehoi

P. cyclosecta
