mattynatureboy44 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Looking for a few recommendations and where to obtain some nice flowering Terrestrial Utricularia species which will happily grow inside on a windowsill year round.

mobile Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Utricularia sandersonii is a star for flowering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) sandersonii, bisquamata and livida. Most likely folks here would be able to supply you with a starter of these species but you could also get them from a nursery such as Hewitt-Cooper, Hampshire Carnivores or South West Carnivores.

mattynatureboy44 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Lovely pics they all look very good candidates. Could you have a few different ones in one pot like a communal pot? or would that not really work and one species take over the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly Weapon Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Utricularia nephrophylla. Almost constant flowering plant with delicate small white flowers. Edited June 14, 2013 by Deadly Weapon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL7836 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Utricularia nephrophylla. Almost constant flowering plant with delicate small white flowers.Wow - I've never seen a nephro quite like that - very interesting! Here's mine for comparison:(apologies for thread hijack) @mattynatureboy44: lots of good recommendations above. The most floriforous of the little weedy guys for me have been the normal or "white' U. sandersonii & U. livida - although U. pubescens is currently trying to challenge those two (also has cute peltate leaves): Bottom line - pick a flower you like & grow it - unlike some plants that are almost a lifetime commitment, the small utrics are fun & rewarding quite quickly.

jimscott Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 U. dichotoma is another easy and colourful one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklott Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 My Alpina, growing in a SE facing window: This is it's second year and it started out as about 4 leaves and a couple of bulbs. The flowers are about 2 inches across. I must have accidentally got conditions exactly right for it. Not so for it's Vanda neighbour... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Weapon Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Whoah! Is that a normal U. alpina or the giant form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
