The pinguicula #1 resembles almost exactly a P. laueana in winter growth

I added another Nep for ID. I cannot find any info based upon what I bought it as.

Well those are small pitchers, maybe if the plant had some bigger ones, it seems as a typical Ventrata one, but for me it is not sure.

that is what I had thought, but still having issues ventricosa vs ventrata. LOL

It is virtually impossible (with rare exceptions) to identify Pings from the leaf/rosette. Unfortunately most of your flower photos are only of the side. It would help if you posted some frontal shots of the flower.
I find it useful to maintain a computer inventory of my plants so when tags get lost, I can at least narrow down likely candidates.

I have been doing a computer inventory, that has been part of my issue. Last year a fellow collector gave up her whole collection, due to personal issues. ALOT of them were untagged and she was unsure of them as well. Many VFT's, Neps, Sarrs and Pings were all untagged and many needed alot of TLC to bring around. I have a total of 9 untagged Neps, but many do not have pitchers as of yet. I will edit and add photos in a few minutes. Thanks Bob

Frontal pics added. Hopefully it helps.

The flower pics are a bit too fuzzy or out of focus to make a positive ID. Possibly Ping #3 is P. agnata, but it is hard to tell from the photo.

Ok I uploaded some better pics. I do not think I can get any clearer with my camera.

Has anyone ever heard of a N. altman?

Never heard of N. altman. The best way that I have found to narrow down identification of unknown plants in my collection is to compare my plant with photos of those posted in the CP Photo Finder. cpphotofinder.com/Pinguicula.htmlFor example, the flower in Ping#3 looks similar to P. agnata. Once you find a possible match, then check the list of hybrids/cultivars havingh a parent of the possible matches. For example P. agnata "El Lobo" Of course, the best way is to contact the persons where you obtained your plants to get some hints about what plants they might have been growing (and those they did not grow). This would narrow your search considerably. I keep an inventory of the plants, people, and date that I send or receive. It is amazing how helpful that list has been over the years.

Ping #4 looks very much like the fake P. 'Weser'.

It would help if you posted some frontal shots of the flower. Here is an example of the highly unlikely: Number 1 is either P. laueana, moranensis or P. hemiepiphytica. It might also be P. rectifolia, which I'm pretty sure is a subspecies of P. moranensis. #2 is P. gigantea#3 is P. AL #13 #4 is not "fake weser". It is P. 'Sethos'. The first nep, does it has fuzzy pitchers and tendrils? If so, it looks like the un-named species currently lumped into N. alata.
