Wonderful color! I keep thinking i need to grow that; seed is so easy to get but I've just been lazy. And preoccupied with Mexicans too.

Interesting shape, and such a beautiful color!

Sorry for vanishing. Life happened. Might vanish again.

It's also too hot here for them, but I bring in my cold temperates during July-August.

Seattle summers are cool. Sometimes "summer" feels like it never happens. "Juneuary" is a real month here. I really have no excuse at all now.

May I ask where you would get your seed from were you so inclined?

Lol we're in the high 80s through December, we just don't get cold at all
Night temps drop 5° F in Miami and that's it, just as hot and muggy as the daytime lol
In fact, it's too hot for capensis to survive over summer, I have to grow them in a windowsill

I received these as plants last year from a local friend. All my other temperate Pinguicula arrived as hibernacula from bestcarnivorousplants.com

I think your issue was temperatures swings, too much freeze then thaw.

Natch apparently grows grandiflora in 0° F temps.

They were also selling seed for a pittance.
