Pyro Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Martin you have such wonderful species. I can not wait for the fully open flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Hingst Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks Well, the bad news is - the stalk did not forgive me my 180°-bending... and the good news - the next one is already emerging This time I will be more carefully! So, just have a bit of patience. Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hingst Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi, here some pics of the flowers. And - it IS branching Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi Martin, really wonderful "alien" flowers. How long do the flowers last? Have you already been successful with pollinating them, this would be really great? Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Hingst Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi Dani, the flowers last only a week or so, cannot say by now if this is their normal lifespan - or if I had success with pollination I will check that soon.

Frank Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well, that sure is something different that the "usual" Utricularia flowers! Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Hingst Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) This plant kills me. Tried two more shots now in evening sun. But I never get back to the sharpness of the bud picture (that was already not that sharp...) Ányway, at least with the good old black background again.

Daniel O. Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Martin, i like these pictures with the black background more than the last ones. Bye the way, how big are these flowers in diameter? And i hold my fingers crossed for your successful pollination. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Hingst Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks for the wishes, Dani Hard to tell what the diameter is. The height is a bit over 3cm, the width depends on how far the antennae spread. Without the appendages (lobes and antennae) only a few mm, maybe three.
