Is U. fulva an annual? I bought some a while back but they never bloomed. Recently, I read that it is an annual. The pot has a healthy population of U. But I am now wondering if the fulva died out and was replaced by a weedy U.

In the wild it's likely an annual, but California Carnivores have been growing them for years just keeping them wet all year round...

That's good news. I've seen a discussion or two on this board on getting U.s to flower. I'll check them out and see if I can't encourage them a little.
Thanks

It is not an annual species in my conditions. It flowers in fall/winter and the daylenth seems to play a role in flower induction. That is at least the impression we got here comparing the conditions (exposed to natural light+photoperiod vs. 12 h under fluorescent lights) and the results (flower vs. no flower).
Best regards
Dieter

Thanks Dieter, Daylight cycles are something that I have needed to get under control. Most my lights are now on timers and following local day length. Maybe I'll see some action from these guys this fall.

Since my last post, a single stolon emerged. The bud that grew on it appeared yellow. I was disappointed because I thought it was another U. subulata coming up. Not that they're not pretty. However, by the time the bloom opened, it had become a sort of orange color. Just like the pictures of fulva. Thanks for all the information and advice. Hopefully me and this plant will get along well. These flowers are something special.
