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.

Everything came good, lots of liverwort overtaking the utricularia and so I had tk remove so much but now I can see the utricularia.

This is an absolutely fascinating plant.

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.

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.

Amazing little plant.

I have yet to see it flower but I’ve been taking care of it and it seems to be spreading out — looks healthy.
I knew it was small… but I was kinda surprised at *how* small it actually is.. it’s barely visible to the naked eye. That’s on me tho.

Arrived packaged well, but I'm still waiting for it to do something. So far I have a beautiful mound of green moss in my terrarium, but gave it some food the other day so I'm hoping for some signs of growth.

Beautiful plant and amazing customer support

I purchased this little beautiful terrestrial Urticularia as soon as I learned that it was available (I was looking for it for a long time). I knew that I would have been out of town for several days so I asked the customer service to delay the shipment. Pity, the plant was sent earlier than agreed, and it stayed at my front door several days in the sun. I contacted the customer support and Alison has been extremely helpful, proactive, and very responsive, and she sent me a replacement right away. As a bonus I also received a red Drosera capensis together with the Urticularia :)

I've been looking for these plants for a while now and saw social media that you had them for sale, so I quickly bought one!
