Well, my Utricularia collection is sadly gone and I am missing seeing the flowers that came every spring, so I thought I'd start this thread hoping to to see some win, esp. the smaller beauties

Pretties for sure, like fairies in skirts dancing for the new season! Thankee Brother Jim, I figured you'd come through. What, no one else has got flowering Utricularia, LOL
As to what happened....I lost my collection when I fell sick in 2005 with a genetic ailment that had been absent for 2 decades and now back with a vengence every day since, thank you for asking. Most of the colection went pfffft that season when we had the worst drought I can ever remember and I could barely get out of bed that year. This is why we always need new growers, and to freely pass our plants to others while we have the opportunity so the ball keeps rolling. Currently I am unable to grow since my hands are mostly paralyzed although I hope this changes as the spring progresses.

As promised a couple pics, not real good 
I'm on spring break, visiting the other side of the country, so I can't post any pics right now.
When I left I had U. paulineae, U. tridentata, and U. nelumbifolia, and 5 U. longifolia all throwing out stalks...

Oh yeah, I forgot to say - I saw some yellow flowered aquatic utrics here in the Florida everglades, even though there's surprisingly little water. I'll try to post pics sometime.
I'll post the pics of the others when I get back...
