Here Grey, because I cant send you messages with more than 1 picture at a time....

My pirouette.. it might not be BHD. I think I might of been the leaves finally turning pink, but it did look sickly, so I took off the middle growing leaf. The center is still intact.

And the roots are still all healthy and white so who knows...

And if the cuttings take root, win win!

The cyclosecta is slowly turning gray. It only took 2 and a half months haha. What does puzzle me, not a single bug has landed and been caught. Odd...
My mother plant "bugbane" Moranensis x Gigantae (supposedly) has produced 20 healthy plants. What puzzles me is the mother plant is clearly dark green, while the others are bright light green.

And one of those cuttings are survivin in a bowl of coco coir, with outdoor moss from my creek with my natural clay still attached. Just trying to push it's limits, nothing negative yet. It's resilient!

I also received p. Agnata. Red leaf today. Hope it colors up fast.

And I got probably 100ish sethos/esserina seedlings, I got from that lady on ebay. Hope they turn out.

Cool!

BHD is usually pretty obvious: dark green leaves with pits, dead, crispy leaves (spreading from the centre outward), no growth whatsoever. Sometimes plants will just die with pitted leaves and not do anything else -- it's bizarre. The plant doesn't look like it has BHD, and I'm really glad that it's OK!

I can't quite remember whether or not feeding affects the colouring up of Pinguicula; I know it tends to affect some fly traps but it's been a while since I observed this particular behaviour as I haven't had any influx of food for my plants for over a year.

Good news about the army of Pinguicula pullings! Sometimes the younglings do look a bit different to the adult ones, I've found. If the contrast in colour is quite obvious and you're concerned, then we can look into it further.

I'd love to hear how your plant with the coir, moss, and clay does. Sounds like an interesting experiment!

P. agnata is a beautiful plant.

Thank you for the update. :-) (I've popped this in the butterwort forum, by the way.)

Interesting regarding the pullings, there genetic copies, what would factor in different attributes?

Also, how could I pin point what parent plants made my army breed?

And the only reason I put this topic in the chit forum is because I don't like posting so many topics and didn't want to seem a nuisance. So I picked a rarely used forum.
