Here is a recent pic of a few of my Pinguicula gypsicola. This is after they have been kept dry since late Summer of 2007. They are still dry - though I plan to start watering them soon. Overall about 15% were lost, so far, this is a combination of the survivors from two adjacent trays. This species was not the only one in the trays represented here, and there are other Pinguicula gypsicola in other trays.
and as you can see in the three close-up pics that follow, weeds die, moss dies, media can shrink up, spiders can web everything together, and though they continue to grow, they don't expand into Summer leaf form and they don't bloom. I like them wet, they look so much nicer when they expand into Summer leaf form and produce pretty little flowers (see bottom three photos).
