Yet another hitchhiker - what is it this time?

Not a Number

Hello, I must be going...

Yet another hitchhiker plant in my Drosera aliciae. Utricularia reniformis perhaps?

Possibly, but most likely a wayward seedling.

Another leaf popped up overnight. You can see it as a green patch between the two D. aliciae leaves just above and slightly to the left of the circle. The new one is the same size, just twice as tall.
 
Okay, before I pull it out any ideas of what it is?

I think its a weed. Is that subulata growing in your pot?

U. bisquamata I beleive from the look of the flowers, and it's flowering again (no surprise there).

Guess I'll grab the forceps and yank that thing out.

Edit: What ever it was, it didn't put up much of a fight. It left a root thread that I was able to pull up easily - not extensive at all - no sign of bladders

The leaves are all ruffly-ish; looks like no utric :-(


Edit: So you found out what it was. :blush:

Hmmmmm, looks like a couple of different Utricularia in that pot and it might be U. tricolor, the shape is about right. The other certainly looks like U. subulata.

Whoops! Looks like the recent photos were deleted off photobucket. How'd that happen? I reloaded them.
