So not too long ago in my other thread I talked about some plants that came along with the main plants, one of them was a Sundew of some kind next to my red dragon. As for my Cape Sundew, I THINK it's a Bladderwort...? Anyways...

Image
This was a pain to take because of the flower's size and my phone didn't want to focus on it, pretty sure this a Bladderwort. No idea if I should keep it or help it spread around/repot it...what do you guys think?

Image
A MUCH better view of the Sundew that popped up next to my dragon, some of you guys were pretty sure it was a certain species, now you can be 100% certain. lol

BONUS

Way too early, but I figured why not? If anything new pops up I'll get a new pic.

If you are wondering what utric you have, I think it is a u. poconesis.
I remember seeing it on the species guessing game.

Didn't think I'd get more replies here. lol
Anyways yeah I think that'll be the best pic I can do there, but yeah the flower is always white.

Guess I'll look this one up, then.
EDIT: Never mind, I suck at searching, only site I could pull up is wikipedia....and it says it's an aquatic? Which wouldn't make sense here...

Bleh, Savage Garden has nothing either...

Eh, mine seems more...orchid-ish...? Maybe it's the angle there...
I dunno, only thing I could find is that those are aquatic...which wouldn't make sense here since it's growing in soil. xD

Well, your source is Wikipedia. They have literally 2 sentences on them. And someone who never owned a CP could have written that up.

Your best bet to find what it is is to post on the CP identification forum.

Flower does seem similar...according to one of the sites they're large, though. Mine is tiny. >.<
EDIT: I think I found it, utricularia bisquamata.
Seems like the flower can also be purplish/blue as well as white, which is what I have. But yeah it looks exactly like the one I got.

based on my purchases from a few different vendors, hitch-hiker Utrics have invariably been bisquamata. Can't guarantee it, but its a good place to start when hunting for an ID.
