Very nice! The flower seems to be sparkling. Did you sprinkle any glitter over it? J/K

I have to get some of this species after seeing your picture. Thanks for posting
 
Flowers of this species lasted for me close to 3 months just as pretty as the day they opened! Be sure to look at the shading on the spur, it is the best part.

I have just placed my plant out side as an aquatic, I am hoping the it really gets it spreading. This is a great species!
 
Really lovely photo...really shows off where you get the word "skirt" from. Looks like a dancer swinging in an old-fashioned hoop dress.

Pretty flower....great photos.

Nice! that is a realy pretty flower!
 
Hi,

Thanks for the nice comments! Does anyone know, if this species is autogam, or if it needs pollination ? I would really like to try to get some seeds from this plant.

U. uniflora needs a bit of help to be pollinated.

Recently I tried a few crosses involving U. uniflora, dichotoma and beaugleholei. All species set seed and the seed has been sown. I have just noticed germination of the U. dichotoma x beaugleholei. I'm not sure if I was successful in the crosses or if they were just selfings but they were all very easy to pollinate.

I have never had a U. uniflora flower self pollinate without my intervention.
 
Hi,

I have pollinated both flowers i had three days ago. Today the petals dropped, only about 2 weeks after opening. I hope, that pollination was successfull.
