Looks like some sort of a Mexican Pinguicula. Can't tell which one though.

Please in the future, don't post pictures that don't belong to you or that you don't have permission to use (even though you said it wasn't yours). A URL is good enough Clint

It's P. esseriana, one of the Mexican species. Note the name in the title! ) Peter

It's P. esseriana, one of the Mexican species. Note the name in the title! ) Peter that picture has been mislabeled i have looked at many pictures of P. esseriana and only saw a few of them looking whitish but they were primaraly green so i doubt that this person has the correct identifiaction of his plant, however it may be a different strain or a hybrid or a plant that has a defeciant or has to much of something or all of the above...however despite what you think im not that stupid to not have looked at the pictures title and see if that truely is what it is........gosh im not that much of a moron ...well i am pretty close tho..lol

No pings are this color. It's a bad photograph! It is indeed P. esseriana, or at the least within the esseriana/ehlersiae complex. Normal color is green, can be reddish in high light. Peter.

omg your Ping. esseriana and Ping. 'Florian' are just beautiful...but are they slow growers and is it hard to get seed to germinate?
do you sell seed/plants?

It is not necessary to grow from seed as Pings are easy to start from leaf pullings. They are somewhat slow to mature though. I currently have many babies, but they're not full size yet. Takes a good 8 months or so for them to reach semi-maturity. I'll send you an email if you're interested. Peter.

Pingman: Nice photos, good growing. Trying to determine the species of Mexican Pinguicula by the appearance of plants, when you don't know the time of year the photo was taken or the precise growing conditions the plant(s) have been subjected to -- is a very difficult and questionable practice to say the least. Mexican Pinguicula have leaves that are often affected in extreme ways by the environment the plants are grown in. The only time doing this could be considered at all practical would be with species having obvious overt physiological characteristics, such as; Pinguicula gypsicola, Pinguicula cyclosecta, among others; but only if those characteristics are apparent under the conditions the plants being photographed were growing in. I've grown many thousands of Pinguicula esseriana, of various clones, under many different and some similar growing conditions. Under some of those conditions I've seen this species exhibit growth nearly identical to the initial photo in this thread. As an example of why this type of identification is problematic, I present below a photo of Pinguicula esseriana, most likely grown under somewhat different environmental conditions: BTW, the two plants shown below are the same clone, grown in different conditions.
