Can they be grown as an aquatic? Where can I find them?

U. inflata is a totally aquatic utric. It and its close relative U. radiata are native to the east coast. I'm hoping to collect some myself this spring/summer.
I'll let you know if I'm successful and maybe we can do a swap for some western utric?
Cheers. Jim

Here in Fl., they are a pleasant aquatic weed, basically... I plan on photographing some soon, as they will begin flowering in a pond up the road from my place. Usually my Sarrs begin flowering about four to six weeks after these guys do....Great growth indicator that works every time! Happy Growing, Brian.

Brian; I would be interested in getting some Florida plants with locality data as well. Would you be willing to collect a couple and ship? Thanks. Cheers. Jim

hmm, that would ba an intteresting investigation. Yes it would. I was thinking that since Drosera filiformis has a variety that requires winter dormancy and one that does not, why not Utric. inflata? After all, it is found from Canada to Mexico (USDA zone 2 to 10). Cheers. Jim

well, I think some forms of U. Inflata can be dormant.

Jim Hello Jim, I am un-aware of any form of D. filiformis which do not need to go dormant, even the plants from Florida are temperates. Also, while I have not seen them, I suspect the U. inflata from Mexico still show seasonal growth patterns and do have a very short dormancy, just that at any given time some are still awake, since there is no cold season keeping them asleep.
