The hitchhiker Utricularia in my Drosera aliciae pot flowered last week. I'm pretty sure it is U. bisquamata. Here's some photos of the flower. A couple days later the colors really came out but I was too busy to setup the tripod.
Ah ok, I don't want these spreading to my other pots so I'll clip the seed pods. It may be too late because of the old seed pods that came with the D. aliciae.
They don't harm the D. aliciae. Coincidently, I had U. bisquamata popping up in a pot that has a D. sessilifolia and D. capensis, which came from Flytraplady! It was just easier to remove the D. sessilifolia. from that pot.
Well something else sprouted up in my D. aliciae pot, it's under one of the D. aliciae and is actually pushing up the leaves. The shape of the leaf looks like that of U. reniformis.
Someone already commented on bisquamata and seeds, but I want to also add that the seeds are numerous and TINY! I took mine today and clipped off all the dried up seed pods. After rubbing them on a piece of paper I found that they are SMALLER than Drosera seeds. No wonder this can become a weed.
