In November 2021, I found a population of a putative natural hybrid between Utricularia oppositiflora and U. barkeri in the Grampians region. The upper corolla lip of the hybrid was…
This year's display of Utricularia uniflora in the Blue Mountains was particularly impressive, with ridiculously large specimens in high numbers hanging off the cliffs.
The end of December seemed to be the peak blooming period for this Blue Mountains population of Utricularia dichotoma subsp. aquilonia. This subspecies usually grows on the banks of shallow…
Last time I visited this swamp, high rainfall meant that it was full to the brim and Utricularia biloba only grew terrestrially at its edge. This year, the water level…
Utricularia speciosa is a vulnerable bladderwort endemic to four sites on the east coast of Australia. The species was recently resurrected from synonymy with U. dichotoma by Jobson & Baleeiro…
A probable hybrid between Utricularia barkeri and U. dichotoma dominates the Victoria Valley in the Grampians. At this particular site, the vigorous hybrid seemed to have outcompeted both parent species.…
The purple-flowered bladderworts of SE Australia are closely related and hybrids occasionally occur where two species grow together. In this large swamp in the Grampians, both Utricularia barkeri and U.…
Utricularia violacea is a terrestrial bladderwort endemic to southern Australia. The species derives its name from its violet coloration. The blooms are relatively small in size, typically reaching around half…
High winter rains and an unseasonably cool and wet spring in Melbourne has generated an amazing crop of Utricularia barkeri this year. At this location, the bladderwort grows in ditches…
