    I don't know what this is that's growing in my Utricularia & drosera container.
    It's just stiff needles (almost pine-ish) sticking up... does anyone know what it might be?

    Looks to me rather more like a rush Juncus. That's also much more likely (far commoner) than either Isoetes or Scheuchzeria.
