The soon to be dormant Utricularia reniformis plants. There's only the five No7 pots. It's quite enough though.  |

Looking very happy Fred, I got hold of a small pot of them after reading your posts on how hardy they are. I am planning to give them a pretty dry and cold winter rest. They only grew a couple of small leaves in the few months I had them so I hope they pick up after a rest in the spring, how much sun are yours in , cheers Chris

They don't get sun until the afternoon in the growing season corky.

An update on this species. A little cold and a few short days and they don't look quite so verdant.  |

My small pot of U . reniformis has no top growth left at all , I've kept it fairly dry ( damp) I gently tipped it out its pot as the contents seemed to be holding together and all looks well . It's seen freezing conditions and I look forward to seeing what happens in spring , do you think I should stand in water when threat of frosts are over.

Barry Rice classes it as an 'emergent terrestrial' so yes.

Hi Fred , I should of asked if you wait until you see new growth before you stand in water or start standing in water when you think temperature is high enough , cheers

The plants are cleaned up and ready to go. I took the opportunity to grab some photos of the traps while I had them out.  |

Utrisularia reniformis has finally decided that spring has arrived.  |

I have a leaf formed and one on the way on mine , but I moved the pot inside about a fortnight ago and placed on a southerly windowsill . That's a great start as I only had two leaves on it last year

Leaf production continues apace. The two inflorescences are quite tall now.( top right and bottom left are the stalks)  |

I was rechecking the auto-focusing on one of my cameras using the two U. reniformis inflorescences and the results came out so well I just had to publish. (My exccuse and I'm sticking to it) It'll not be long before they burst forth ( they always just miss out on the medals, unfair  )  |
