FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

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...


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?


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.

all very nice. and yes a utricularia.
i am going to guess d. capensis like the one you have.

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

Ooooh.. u. poconesis..? I am intrigued..

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...

It was just a guess judging by the flower. I know next to nothing on utrics.

Here is the pic from the geussing game, seems to fit yours. species-guessing-game-t46620-135.html

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.

After 20 minuites of research,
utricularia praetermissa
https://www.google.com/search?q=utricul ... U8gz_OeROM:
Maybe...

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.

Yup. Looks like a U. Bisquamata to me. I have this species as well, and the picture matches its flowers.

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.
