The last one is a U. livida, but after that, absolutely no clue! :)
 
The 1st two look like the turtle shells of RSS's nemesis :-O & the 3rd needs to continue to open ... ???
 
first two are graminifolia, last is livida. :p
 
number 3, i am more inclined to suggest Utricularia arenaria (A.DC.) based on spur length relative to lower lip. If it is indeed U. arenaria, it appears to be a species that is capable of self pollination and will set seeds in peoples collections. Verses U. livida that does not appear to self pollinate....

Pictures 1 & 2 are the same flower, different angle. They sprang up in my U. longifolia pot, but clearly are not.Here's a picture from this morning:

Picture 3 is in a pot from D. auriculata and it never opened up any further. Another bud will be opening soon.
 
Okay, these leaves go with these flowers:

wow.. mobile and Jim, what do you guys keep your water levels at? And do you prefer peat, or LFS as a media?

I've always grown U. graminifolia as an emergent, in peat/sand mix:

Are you sure it's not Utricularia uliginos?

Ugly Nora? Nah.... haven't had in the collection for years. LOL! I'm not sure of anything.

Mass Generally speaking, I put utrics in a combination of peat, sand, and LFS and try to keep the water table on the high side, or at least allow for variation.

Could it be U. arenaria?
