U. calycifida

This is my one and only utricularia (species and specimen) that I have successfully germinated from seed. The flower stalk is now about 10 cm in length and the first flower will open pretty soon!

Leaves - note the absence of reddish veins as opposed to the typical form as this is the white flower variety
 
The first flower dropped before I got the chance to take a picture of this second flower. It appears that the flower opens for one or two days only.
