Utricularia Identification Help

[Thorns65]

Paddling along the shoreline, I ended up In a shallow, where when I lifted my paddle a clump of these guys were lifted the the it.
Not sure which Species of Utricularia exactly, but was kind of neat to see them up close.

Nice! Could be Utricularia macrorhiza.
You should try to grow it!

 

[Thorns65]

I wasn't sure which Species, but was pretty thrilled to find accidently like that. Thanks for identifying. Looks like it could be easy to grow.

Found some in a lake when I was about 9 years old, tried keeping it in a insect tank on a windowsill.. ended up rotting and smelling terrible lol, how would you keep a Utricularia aliveness?

I think they need a big volume of water, probably with some circulation.

I have had some various utrics growing in my fish tank before, and it spread like crazy!

Hi all,

I was cutting sphagnum (because it had grown a lot) and I discovered an unknown plant hidden underneath.
The good news is that I know this is a Utricularia... but which one?

I'm 70% sure this sphagnum comes from you Willy

And on my Willy's Cepha, there is this too but I don't know if it is a CP

If someone can help me ID...

Thanks!

 

[WillyCKH]

Utricularia longifolia, if the moss was from my setup...

 

[Windowsill Nepenthes]

Thanks!
And the Cepha's moss is just random moos?

 

[WillyCKH]

I see star moss and utric

 

[Windowsill Nepenthes]

Wait... Utri in sphag + Cepha ?
The size of the leaves are quite different...
3 cm for the one in Sphag and 3 mm for the Cepha's pot.
So, same species?

 

[WillyCKH]

Could be same species or another. Time will tell!!

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

They do look both like longifolia.

Piggy backing on this thread..

Can any ID this utric? @WillyCKH , I think it might have come with one of your plants and/or moss. There's barely any foliage but flower stalks are just popping up. The flowers are around 5mm in size.

U. gibba? Picture of the stolons/traps?

 

[WillyCKH]

Could be U. subulata "clone C", it has red flower stalk like that.

 

[Stanley]

I'm thinking it's U. subulata based on the flower stalk! Thanks guys.

I'll try to get some photos of the traps tonight.

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

U. subulata should have the "grass" at the base. U. gibba often has nothing above the surface.

This the one I have on the Cepha

It looks like there are small leaves right at the surface but it's not apparent at the base of most of the flower stalks. Will try to get some photos later.
