U. bisquamata?

[nepenthes gracilis]

Hey folks, this happened to pop up in the pot of my S. alata var. nigrapurpurea from Jeremiah I traded with last year. BTW, sorry for the terrible quality...the sun was almost gone when I took these, but I wanted to get them uploaded.

At what time of day have you seen them in bloom - or does it matter. Mine are sending up stalks and I see buds, but nothing actually blooming as pretty as those. Are yours "Betty's Bay?"

This one looks like the "typical" form Dustin. You have to get the 'Betty's Bay' (those siingle quotes are soon to become a reality as I believe this will be published at last by it's discoverer Steven Morely, Gardenofeden). You wont believe the difference! It's a neat plant you have, but keep an eye on it with your other Utricularia, it is as bad as U. subulata!

I have small colonies of this plant growing in some of my CP pots.
Its also flowering! This is the typical form, I have bettys bay and the flowers os U.bisquamata bettys bay are much larger and are more colurfull.

Its in the S. alata pot so I'm not worried if it goes bonker......only a small area of the pot is affected like 1.5 sq. inches. Speaking of U. subulata I have aplant labeled as U. fulva but it looks like U. subulata.......then in a pot of plants from your Wiliam the same flowers appeared after I had the freeze.

the Betty's Bay cultivar (publication pending) is shown in my avatar

...and here's the full pic.....

How is Betty's Bay differentiated from the "typical?"

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

Wonderful GOE! I need one of those!

Jim, looks like the 'skirt' is more full.

I've got mine to bloom all the time before I moved, they're recovering still but they're still popping. Do these propagate by seed? I read something in the Savage garden but I can't recall it.

is it not obvious from the photo? the flower is huge in comparison to the "typical" with a very large lower lip. flowers typically 11mm wide

the typical bisquamata will self-seed everywhere. Betty's Bay is a shy seeder, best propagated by division

I notice now.
