mobile Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 My U. longifolia typically puts up flower stalks in early spring and flowers throughout the summer, but this year it has started early. I've suspected that slightly warmer weather might be the flowering trigger, but this year has dispelled that theory, as it is the coldest it has been so far this winter. The plant is in a room in the house which has very little heating, just receiving ambient heat from the rest of the house, so temperatures in there are cool.

Gaz Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 my U alpina and U nelumbifolia are also sending up flower stalks right now, both firsts for me so very exciting. They're in a heated propagator in the greenhouse. I'm hoping my U longifolias will join in soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wish my U. alpina would flower, I had it a year and not seem one yet. The way it's going, there is more chance of my U. campbelliana flowering than the alpina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 yep, it'd be nice to see the campbelliana flowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnivorous triffid Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Very nice looking plant. I have a Utricularia praelonga which put up its flower stalk last year but then failed to develop any flowers. Not entirely sure why that was though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
