Utricularia nelumbifolia germination

[I_Pereira]

Polinating was sucessfull, seed pods ripe and yesterday I placed some of the seeds in water. Took some pics with a few hours interval and I will try it again, but with less time between pics some day with more spare time

Seed pod

13h55min

Now when sowing, I'll have to try some peat and perlite mix, not enough sphagnum for all

Enjoy.

Great photos! What kind of setup for photography do you have? The seeds look like they are already growing when they are still in the pod.
