P.macrophyllaP.macrophylla only flowers from the summer rosette, the flowers are dark purple and distinctive in having rounded edges to the petals. A small annual rosette forming Utricularia from W. Australia. A very pretty plant though not the easiest of the Utricularia to grown. Best raised from seed and grown as an affixed aquatic. Sow on 50:50 moss peat and silver sand in late winter - plants should flower by the summer. This species ( and other related W. Australian Utrics) do not like high temperatures (>25deg C) in cultivation.
