FlyTrapCare Forums

Hello all. In thinking of what topic to choose for this month's contest, I thought that butterworts would be a good choice. If you don't have pictures already, I know that many of the Mexican butterworts are starting to shed their succulent state and may make for some interesting photos. So, in the famous words of Sean Connery:

"Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please."

Okay, it can be a picture of more than one ping, but you can only post one photo for the contest and it must be a photo that you have taken. Posting multiple photos, or someone else's picture will disqualify you from the contest.

And we can't have a contest without a prize, can we? For this month's prize, Matt and Leah from the flytrap store are supplying

This is my ping agnata el lobo! I won this beauty off of Holly Hock during a contest 2 years ago.

Beautiful plant! You may want to edit your post down to 1 picture so that you can qualify for the contest. Thanks for sharing!

I assume so. I didn't do anything to put it there, so time will tell, I guess.

Pinguicula esseriana looking very round!

I would have to say Pinguicula’Weser’ is my favorite for its small uniform growth, color, and beautiful aesthetics.
