Your photos aren't showing, I assume because of FB settings.
I am in the same boat as you; I bought a "Pinguicula sp." from a garden centre yesterday... My post is right below yours...
I'm hoping mine isn't Mexican, as I've already repotted it in sphagnum. lol...

Youy're right! Ok, I corrected it, now you should be able to see them.

I'm nowhere near the right person to get an answer, but in searching for what kind mine was, it looks like yours resembles some Mexican species... That should at least give you a starting point, husbandry wise, if I'm right...

It is Pinguicula 'Sethos'. Most often sold blank or under the name 'Weser', which is actually its sibling.
Maiden, it is a moranensis hybrid.

Great! Thanks a lot! I thought it might be a moranensis hybrid, but wasn't so sure.

Your photo of the flower does look like it might be the cultivar Pinguicula 'Sethos', but it could be any of the hybrids of Pinguicula ehlersiae x moranensis that are in wide circulation (or some other similar looking flower). If you are not certain of its' pedigree it is best to never call an unknown plant by the official cultivar name -- even if it seems to match the cultivar standard description. There are too many bogus plants being sold and traded under a cultivar name either because of dishonesty or ignorance. Always be skeptical about the identity of a plant that you have until you can verify what it actually is by comparing with a known plant (or photos).

You're right Bob, I guess I'll just label it ehlersiae x moranensis. While we're at it, I've got a question: as it is a cross between two tropical butterworts, it should hibernate, right? When does it start to grow non-carnivorous leaves? After the autumn flowering? Thanks for the info!

In my unheated greenhouse in northern California, my plants start flowering in March-April and continue flowering till mid summer, depending on species. Some will not flower unless they get a preceding cool period. They start forming non-carnivorous leaves in the fall. My greenhouse gets to near freezing in winter.

Great! So it should start producing non carnivorous leaves soon. Thanks!
