giuseppe Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) My large plant of Utricularia humboldtii finally flowered after 2 years! I could self-pollinate it and got a couple of capsules, so I wanted to try the experience of seeing the small octopus-like seedlings coming out of the seed coat only after a few hours in water. Enjoy the pictures! Here below a photo of the flower a few seeds after 1 hour in water, after 5 hours, and on sphagnum 2 days after Edited April 28, 2009 by giuseppe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Great sequence of photo's Giuseppe - cant wait for my humboldtii to flower just so I can get some seeds just to watch first hand how quickly they start to grow! Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefforever Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Fantastic pics of the seeds! In the U.S. it is unusual to see these in flower, so I appreciate the pictures you've posted. It's also good to see you sowed the seed on sphag... I used pure peat which seems to stunt their growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
