Thanks for reply. I agree that it isn't subulata - it has a bit different shape and colour.

I think this is a form of Utricularia bisquamata. One form has small, almost white flowers. It self polliantes and becomes a weed, so keep it away from other utricularia.

Thanks for identification. I know about weedy feature of this Utric, so will keep attention.

I usually use mix peat: quartz sand - 1:1 or with excess of peat. Two species — longifolia and nephrophylla I also grow in pure sphagnum.

After two unsuccessful attempts my nephrophylla finally blooms.

It is when they have a fungal infection

My U. longifolia has had purple patches on the leaves ever since I received it, which was many years ago, and it still flowers profusely every year.

It sounds optimistic.
In case of humboldtii, I thought that it's protection from light (like some orchids do) - I moved it closer to lamp.
So will see what will happen.

Hi!
Finally, my first Utric. blooms. It need identification. Is it subulata? I am not sure, because photos on  cpp looks a bit different. Or, maybe it is not fully opened...

Bisquamata.   A textbook example of the flower.
