Guest Andreas Eils Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 What´s that? Stolons with bladders that rise into the air??? Amazing! Regards, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischermans Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hello Andreas Its not a stolon its a leaf. Regards Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Wow, fantastic. Never seen anything like that in cultivation before. Must somehow get hold of this species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Salter Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hello AndreasIts not a stolon its a leaf. Regards Alexander Regardless of stolon or leaf where do the bladders think they are going and what do they hope to do when they get there? Impressive macro shots bye the way.

Sean Spence Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I would expect that in nature this species would spend part of its lifecycle inundated by water, as many of the terrestrial species do. Extra bladders on the leaves that are above the substrate level and more accessible to aquatic organisms would undoubtedly benefit the plant.

Markus Berg Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Very interesting pics, this is really a nice species. Does somebody know if this is a new species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob H Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Handsome flowers Alexander. I concur with yours and Seans view with regards to the traps on the leaves, it makes sense for flooded leaves to provide extra catching facilities. Another for my ever expanding, rarely shrinking, Utric wishlist :-( ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacina Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi Alexander, absolutely impressive macros,I must say! I´m really envious of your great photos! Concerning the colour of your plants´ flowers:mine are purple with small white parts,not completely white as yours.Does this pale look depend on the lighting you´re using while taking photos,or are the flowers of your plant really completely white?

fischermans Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hello I think when we wait a bit the colour off the flower will turn into more purple.For the moment its white may be because its standing in a shady corner of my terra and has just opened.I´ll let you know with a foto.

Fernando Rivadavia Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wow, impressive pics! Most impressive to me however is the identity of this plant! It seems to be the same species as what I call U.sp."Chapada Diamantina", a new species which is common in that area. But the Serra do Cipo is ~700km S of the Chapada Diamantina (in a straight line). Where did you get your plants from Alexander, if you don't mind me asking??? Best Wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 All has been cleared up with Alexander! :) Apparently there was a mixup. This IS the plant I call D.sp.Chapada Diamantina. It somehow got mislabelled as being from the Serra do Cipo, in Minas Gerais state. The Utric above is what I orginially distributed in the 90's as U.parthenopipes, only to realize later that what I called U.blanchetii "white flower" is the true U.parthenopipes (I'm not sure they should be separate species...).

fischermans Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hello So we all have to change our labels from U.spec Cipo in U.spec.Chapada Diamantina as Fernando said. :) Hope all will do so.Fernando also told me that he saw both coloration in the wild and he was under the impression it was purely environmental.

Dieter Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 OK, I got it! I changed the name of the threat I started earlier. And yes, the plant originally came from Fernando (at least that's what I was told) via Andreas and Alexander to me. This raises another question: Alexander, are the colours correct on your photos? My flowers are of a somewhat pale pink with some yellowish dots on the corrolla. Best regards Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischermans Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Alexander, are the colours correct on your photos? Hello Dieter Yes the colour is correct and the colour hasn´t changed up to now but as i told in the article before. Fernando also told me that he saw both coloration in the wild and he was under the impression it was purely environmental. The plant on my pictures is the plant you get a spare from.

Howard Snocken Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi Alexander, Great pictures! The plant I grow as U. sp. 'Hermanus' also produces very photogenic traps scattered on its leaves - unfortunately I'm not equipped for macro photography.......another one for you to point your camera at perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Fernando sent some photos of Utricularia sp. "Chapada Diamantina" from the Chapada Diamantina (Tiburtino Waterfall near the town of Mucuge). Edited July 31, 2010 by BobZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischermans Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hello Here are 2 pics of the same clone which is standing a bit colder but not that much. In think the colour changes because its a bit colder and the plant has a bit less light. 1 2 Here a few pictures with both colours.They are in different pots. 3 4 5 Regards Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi Alexander, this colouration looks much more familiar to me... Cheers, Dieter Edit: Many thanks to Fernando and Bob for making the habitat shots available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Beautiful pics! Interesting theory about temperature. I'd noticed sunlight alone wasn't responsible, so it makes sense! Congrats, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Please see the link below, thsi species has now been officially named!! :) http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?s...mp;#entry241217 Best wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I delayed the publicatione of my booklet for about a month, I would have been able to include this new species as is described here!
