Hello everyone! I'd like to share my Utricularia with you! Unfortunately, I do not know the name of this tiny Utricularia, but I really like how the flower is shaped! Doesn't it look like a wolf's head? The third photo shows the leaves of this plant, it is as small as a Drosera Capensis Alba seedling.

I have found out what type of Utricularia this plant is! It is a Utricularia Bisquamata! This is the new flower: Any idea why the first one looks so much different? Maybe it was the first flower?

Be careful of the subulata seeds, they will be everywhere if you don't cut the flowers.
What's the floating one?
Are there 2 Genlisea there?

I have a whole area that have U subulata growing haha, I isolate them from where I don't want them because like you said, they grow like wild fire. The floating one is Utricularia Gibba, and I think those two you were referring are Utricularia calycifida and Utricularia Minutissima.

Those subulata seeds are dustlike and they have to be treated like a bacteria if you don't want them to spread.
Amazing how the Utrics look so much like Genlisea.
For U. gibba: Use the plastic terrariums that people use here-you see the pictures posted. The plastic tray part has a system of ridges and channels on the bottom. Keep your CP's in pots with the pots open to the tray. Vary the water level from just above the bottom of the channels to just above the top of the ridges.
I have tried all sorts of ways to grow U. gibba and they always lingered and died off until I hit on the method above. It requires no extra care and the U. gibba goes crazy and flowers all the time. The gibba sometimes grows up the pots but it doesn't bother the other plants and it prevents algae and mould from growing.

Thanks lloyd, I will try to put some of mine into the water tray with other CP. Currently I have mine in a big plastic cup of water containing many seed shrimps, and some peat in the bottom. I shall watch out for the subulata seeds, thanks for the reminder

U. gibba is growing happily in my setup! It is eating the seed shrimps and living with my Aquatic plant Egeria densa.
