I believe it's been over a year since I last had a pinguicula flower, so I thought it'd be nice to start a topic to track the progress of it. Something I never took the time to realize was how these flowers start as white, but then develop their pigmentation as they grow... it would seem pinguicula give us a rare opportunity to watch the development of colour within the bud itself; other plants I've observed (though not professionally) usually only show a hint of colour as the buds swell and begin to open rather than during the entire process of flowering. Another reason I just love these plants...
You can also see the mucus producing hairs on the flower stalk. Oh, if the title didn't give it away, this is a Pinguicula 'Tina'. I'll see about updating every few days, health permitting.
