They have been popping these stalks up for a while now. cant see what the plant looks like because they are in crevices of the dirt. but their re these tiny two-leved plants growing all over in it
Yet, they have not increased in size, love to know what they are been there since winter. these stalks are new though

Yes it is, most like U. Bisquamta. All those little green leaves on the surface of the media are the leaves.

That looks like a sundew to me but I know literally nothing about bladderworts

Really? How come the "flowers" look nothing like what I'm seeing? In fact those are so small, I can't even tell they are flowers?

What flowers? I'm just saying because it has tentacles with dew on them I have never seen this type of bladderwort. If you could give me the name I would be happy to look it up for you.

The big plant in the middle is a sundew, probably Drosera Spatulata, the spike to the left of it and the small leafs to the right are some bladderwort species. The bladderwort does not have dew, it has traps on it's roots. That spike is a flower stalk for the bladderwort, they are suppose to have nice looking flowers (but tiny).

Definitely a common weedy bladderwort. If the flowers are white/purple, it's U. bisquamata. If the flowers are yellow, it's U. subulata. Watch out because they will spread seeds around your collection very easily.

Because of the way that the flower stalk is shaped, I'd say bisquamata but I've seen subulata without the zig zag flower stalk

Yea, I know the big plant t is my sundew for the record ... so can I put these tiny bladder worth outside? Are they hardy at all? I just don't want them overrunning my initial collection

The pictures online show the bisquamata with much bigger flowers and larger plant though ? How much bigger will they get?

When you look up bisquamata, it usually shows bisquamata Betty's Bay, look for the small flowered form

Yea still no luck finding one like this, he'll I can't even SEE the flower, like a tiny ass bulb

It's not the moss (you're thinking of sporophytes), the way you can tell is first the stuff growing on the dirt, there is very little moss and some small leaves. The small leaves are not Drosera, and appear to be Utricularia leaves. Second, and most importantly, the spike coming up has two knob like things in it, it's forked. I have never seen forked sporophytes (well the seta I guess), not to say they don't exist, but if they do they are rare. And third, it looks a whole lot like a Utricularia flower stalk.

Yeayea the part that was/is throwing me off, is well. The size of the "flowers" and the fact that there's more than one on the stalk, odd.
