My U. graminifolia started throwing up flowers the other day.

Nice! Now you can answer whether or not it's really U. graminifolia, huh?

I think Michael Sesze (sp?) flowered it already after Sean gave him some a few years ago. Still, they're pretty neat looking little flowers, almost orchid like.

Very nice!

The structure looks right to me. Not sure about the colour of the spur though. Is the spur white like the lip or is it actually green as it looks in the picture? I'm suspecting it's actually white since the upper petals have a greenish tint to them. The whole flower should be white, white with some pale purple/blue veining (which I see on the lip), or very pale purple/blue.

Here's a known U. graminifolia

Strangely, this is one I can't convert to emersed culture. I think I'm probably starting with too small a piece.

Cheers.
Jim

Remind me when you're over at my place in a few weeks to give you a pot.

Thanks.

I'll swap you for some U. calycifida 'Mrs. Marsh'.

Cheers.

Jim - I think it's my picture taking skills, or lack thereof. It's a white flower w/ purple veining.
