Bob H Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I spent this morning at an "Aquatic plant identification" class, more Tea, Coffee and chat than ID We did a bit of Lab work and then went for a short field trip, literally. I had been saying.... 'I have yet to see Utrics in the wild, I've got them at home and I've seen Drosera and Pings but never Utrics' The rest of the group were very pleased to point these ones out About 300m, yes I do mean 300m!, of Dyke brimming with Water Soldier (Stratiotes aloides), flowering Frogbit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae) and a few plants of Utricularia vulgaris in the rudest of health. All those yellow dots are Utric flower! I was allowed to take a couple of growth points, from the ID samples, to grow at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I was allowed to take a couple of growth points, from the ID samples, to grow at home I expect to see U. vulgaris - Norfolk Broads in circulation sometime soon then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 very nice photos Bob - and striking contrast between the red scape and the yellow flowers. I do love the 'standard' Utrics - very pretty. And as for the Lesser Water Parsnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
