It means the flower doesn't open up but remains closed. It can still polinate itself which is fine if you want seed, but makes identifying and unknown plant a bit difficult. Several Utricularia and some sundews do this.
Yeah, there are no specific conditions to make them produce yellow flowers. The best thing to do is abuse your subulata until they flower
... that's right, you heard me ... change the photoperiod, don't water it for a long time, change the potting mix, kick it around a bit (OK, not the last bit of advice, but you get the picture). It seems that subulata flower when exposed to a drastic change in environmental conditions, and hope for the best
Scott I received U. subulata with the S. rubra bugweed sent me. It just started sending up flowers last week. The one's I had before in my D. capensis pot was flowering in late Feb.

I just noticed that the U. bisquamata growing along with my D. binata (dichotoma) just sent up a single proper flower. Very pretty, but I did not realise they were that small. It's a fraction of the size of my U. livida blossoms.
thats the small flowered form. i have it too. there is a cultivar called Betty's Bay that has much larger flowers. havent gotten a hold of it yet but havent really looked either.
