So, today I was looking at my plants and the amount of Pinguicula that were blooming was more than I expected. I figured if I couldn't manage to grow seeds, maybe someone else could...
So before I go and make seeds (and forget to ask about sending them to the seed bank for far too long), I'd like to ask if anyone would be interested in an odd idea I had. What if you guys got to receive seeds from a cross of your choosing? That way I could share these plants without having to fail at raising them... Again.

If people are interested, the (tentative) rules are as follows:
Choose two plants you'd like to see crossed. I can't guarantee I'll make that cross, the amount of flowers on each plant is a finite number, but I'll consider it. If I make the cross you selected, you will be mailed an envelope containing the seeds. First request, first seeds.

Sounds fun! What pings do you have available to try crossing?

Sure! I’ve got a little ping farm set up in the basement and have a few of my own seedlings that I’m hoping to get to maturity this summer. Maybe a giant seedling giveaway this summer if I’m successful!

Which agnata?
I think the red leaf would be nice. Maybe some of the red could come through. But either would work.
