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

I received my shipment in a timely manner in a generously sized pot.
I’m still waiting for some blooms to happen.
I reached out to CC regarding when that might happen as I knew I was giving my Utricularia everything it needed.
I learned that I should fertilize with Maxsea so I did that so now I’m just waiting for that to kick in.
I can’t wait for it to flower as the blooms are just gorgeous.

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.
Got this guy in the mail today and he ended up being a more orangey ornata type guy if I had to say, but time will tell as more pitchers come. Seems like it’s going to be quite a looker when it matures, and honestly it looks pretty good already!
Ordered a small and got the according size, but I wasn’t expecting it to already have such beautiful pitchers and colors! As always the plant was well packaged and arrived in good condition. Can’t wait to see how this one looks as it gets older!
