Utricularia aureomaculata

After a few years of growth, my U. aureomaculata has flowered! Here's a pic:

You stinker! You beat me! I got scapes this season but they proved to be cleistogamous. OK, I'll be a big man about it and offer you my congratulations!

So, are you hitched yet? Tied the knot? Made an honest woman out of her? Spill it man!
 
The flower isn't as small as you would think, given the size of the leaves; it's about 1cm across.

The photography is just trial and error, fooling the camera into focussing and getting the right picture settings, and then fixing the colour a bit in photoshop. We have just bought a Canon digital SLR for work, so I will have to have a go at real photography. I expect we will be getting a microscope mount too, so I might try some small stuff. Wouldn't it be cool to have a time-lapse movie of utric stolons growing? (or is it just me?).

And yes William, I am a married man.
