Utricularia delphinioides. Again!

It feels good to post again... I've been really busy. I hope you missed that too ;-)

I know you had quite your share of Utricularia delphinioides lately but since this species has not been documented that much and the pictures are so scarce in the literature or even in the internet, I thought you wouldn't mind if I share some more shots. Some of them will delight you, I promise.

Finding Utricularia delphinioides was one of my priorities this year. The species is not rare in Indochina ; it can even be fairly abundant and can grow in huge numbers, but it's just a matter of finding the good place and be there at the right time. What we almost did. We found a couple of spots with that species and although we visited them a bit early (coming later would surely result in witnessing waves of those beauties), we were very happy with what we found.

The following shots were taken in a large clearing, a "veal" filled with carnivorous plants, including the little known Nepenthes kampotiana. Although you can see two Utricularia "hunters" with their machine guns (Alastair Robinson then Jeremy Holden), all the pictures below are mine - yes, you did recognize the crap quality. Still, I hope you will enjoy them.
Utricularia delphinioides is arguably one of the most striking species of the genus. At least, for me!

(Following shot shows Nepenthes kampotiana. Because I will publish a taxonomic article on that species, you won't see any pictures on my blog before that publication).
