Firstly, I was wondering,my Pink ping, will it turn pink as it lowers? Mine is only showing green.

My morensis is doing good, Believe it or not, there is a flower forming.... hahaha
and lastly. LOOK< IM A DAD hahahahahahahahahaha, and I don't have to use money as child support, these guy only want bugs, imagine that. haha to each their own!


And if you remember, the last lost I had regarding these were my first one of them arriving at my home, and I had those two babies in the mother plant of the morensis, they are surviving :D
If you CANT TELL, there are actually 4 growth tips

it looks like two sets of horns if you carefully look. Will that mean 4 pings? or is that 1 growing 4 at same time

So also, lastly. When push comes to shove. you think I could swap pollen from my new arrivals and POLLINATE my stubborn jackass, blob- ping?

Cool updates, thanks for sharing them! :D When you say your pink Pinguicula, if you mean the one in the last photo, it may turn pink if given enough bright lighting when it produces broader carnivorous leaves.

Congratulations on the spikes! I can't really tell how many plants it'll grow based on the photo; a single plant from a leaf is normal, but you can always wait and see how many will come about.

Regarding the pollen, are you referring to the one that doesn't want to produce it itself? If so, you might have some success using pollen from the other plant on it, but if it isn't producing pollen itself it may unfortunately be infertile.

The third photo is an interesting one, which ping is that? It looks all right. Warm or cold temperate? I'm all curious now. :D

Primuliflora and pirouette. The two tiny ones were found when I was digging through the soil when I received them. I believe my pirouette is dormant right now hence it not being pink.

Oh and because I had success with my first 2 pullings, o got greedy. And my gos my main plant, I have maybe watered it 3 times ever for like the 6 months I've had it. And as I was doing the pullings it was bone dry.

Nothing to do with this post, but Gray, have you ever heard of pingucuila ramosa? Only found in Japan, and no public has one ad far as I can tell

Thanks for the info. The P. pirouette doesn't seem to be producing its broad carnivorous leaves so it seems to be in its succulent state.

I haven't done any specific research into P. ramosa until you mentioned it; supposedly it can be very difficult to cultivate because it originates from high elevations with cool, humid air (it's an alpine plant), which is why it's not widely distributed in a domestic sense. Doesn't look like many people have successfully grown it because it's quite sensitive to elevation and temperature. Fascinating little thing! :D
