Utricularia resupinata pix

About a month ago, I purchased a small clump of mud labeled U. resupinata on Ebay. This plant has been growing like crazy. For those who like to see the bladders, I would recommend this plant. While it is an affixed aquatic, it seems to grow primarily between the surface of the water and the substrate which is only about a half inch. Come Spring, I am going to let the water recede and raise the temps to make the plant flower.

My worry has been that this may turn out not to be resupinata, as I haven't purchased plants from this person before. The leaves on this plant are like very fine blades of grass. Is this similar to gibba? Or, do I need to wait for it to flower to make a positive ID.
 
The flowers should be purplish with white. I don't think this is U. gibba, but U. resupinata is a rarity. Keep us posted on how it all goes and thanks for the photo's.
