A gorgeous tropical terrestrial bladderwort that still hasn't flowered for me :(

Which one was on the windowsill and which one was in the terrarium?
I received my reniformis from Predatory Plants, although I am not sure which year. I have yet to see flowers, despite growing it in the same conditions as my Nepenthes. Although it has spread prolifically underground and even escaped its pot several times, I have yet to observe flowers!
In an effort to dial in its ideal growing conditions, I divided my reniformis into two during the last re-pot and placed one division in the warm intermediate greenhouse and one in the south-facing windowsill. The one on the windowsill was far more vigorous and had a nicer green tone to its leaves. I moved both divisions to the windowsill and eagerly await its flowers... perhaps after a dry winter "rest"!
