A strange time for them, I know, but I have an awakening P. grandiflora with flowers!  When it was waking,  and the first of 6 flowers. Sorry about fuzziness. Strangely, one has opened as a mutant, not only with a missing petal, but the flower appears cut open lengthwise. Relly interesting, I'll try to get more pics up soon. |

A couple updated photos:  All 6 flowers are open, and  The closest one is the strange mutant flower. |

A strange time for them, I know, but I have an awakening P. grandiflora with flowers! You really try indoor cultivation of winterhardy Pinguicula? OMG! I'll try to get more pics up soon. When taking photos with a very limited camera without a macro function and only fixed focus (1 m or 1 yd to infinity) you can do macro photos by the help of a good magnifying glass: Hold the magnifying glass in front of the camera lens, select a camera distance to the object that matches the the focal distance of the magnifying glass and take your photo. The photos taken should have much better focus sharpness in near distance then. |

Thanks for the tip jesser! And yes, I do grow my temperate pings inside. Of course P. grandiflora is my only one so far, but still, it seems to be doing fine, what with 5 new plantlets too, from the hibernacula gemmae.

I do have P. medusina as well, and it's going along fine as well.
