A wonderful and easy little bladderwort, Utricularia bisquamata will spread throughout your entire collection via seed. It blooms in profusion spring through summer with many tiny flowers multicolored in yellow, violet, white, and orange. This form, ‘Betty’s Bay,’ is spectacular! It has larger flowers, with the flower's lower lip flaring widely like a twirling skirt caught mid-air! The upper part of the flower is a pale yellow, a nice contrast against the purple of the lower flower.
Please note; when we ship Utricularia, the delicate flowers cannot withstand the shipping process. You will likely receive a pot with no flowers but many small stolons (these look like small blades of grass) that indicate lots of healthy growth in the pot. These small faux leaves can be hard to see! But keep in mind that the real action is under the soil, where the Utricularia will have many, many tiny bladder-like traps! With a little time and care, they will start producing flowers.
Care Instructions Sun: Prefers to hide in the shade of other plants, they will also thrive indoors, under grow lights Water: Always sitting in a few inches of distilled or purified water Temperature: 40 - 90 degrees Dormancy: none needed

Utricularia bisquamata ‘Betty’s Bay’ Potted
The plant arrived in great shape. No flowers and a spent flower stalk. I does have numerous leaves so eventually she should bloom. I bought one elsewhere last year that never bloomed. I know Cal Carn recommends using some Maxsea on it every few weeks so I'll try that.

Betty's Bay
Healthy little plant. Seems to be doing nicely in the terrariumdespite the USPS managing deliver it 2 days late. Great service from CC as usual.
I had too much excitement and purchased a Venus fly trap from sprouts a week before receiving these and they performed very poorly. However with that experience it was very apparent that this company is taking much better care of the plants. They almost felt trained before coming to my house. The new Venus fly trap caught flies immediately and both plants have impressed me a lot. I will definitely be using this company from here on out.
It was worth the wait for such a rare and unique Drosera Sundew.
I had to wait three years for the Regia to be back in stock.
I guess good things come to those who wait.
As always Cal Carns plants arrive in excellent condition and is very healthy.
