I mislabelled the plants and grew them as B. filifolia in moist LFS. ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) They are now flowering at the height of 6cm and THEN I realise that they are actually the aquatic species. ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_060712.jpg) The flowers do not open fully in my conditions. ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_flower_half_open.jpg) The seeds were labelled as "copper coloured stems up to 20cm tall". ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_copper_coloured_stem.jpg) Dark purple petals ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_flower.jpg) Compared with mauve/lilac B. filifolia petal ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_vs_filifolia_petal.jpg) Anther cf filament length ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_vs_filifolia_stamen.jpg)

Self-pollination (with external help). ;D ![](http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/cpphotosz/3rdQ2012/byblis_aquatica_flower_fruit.jpg)

Four seed pods collected so far. Amazing speed at which they develop and mature...considering that the first flower was pollinated at the beginning of this month! ![](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/cpphotoz/3rdQ12/byblis_aquatica_fruit.jpg)
