It was bought labeled as Pinguicula lutea, obviously it is not.  It seams closer to Pinguicula caerulea .  Anyone wanna dissagree with that?  

   i polinated these with eachother and the flowers faded away within 12 hrs.  so i think they took.  (begins to pray) hehe.  well here they are.

and the next one wasn't fully open at the time of the picture.

Later,

Andrew,

Were these two separate plants?

Of course, Pinguicula caerulea, caerulea = blue. Digital images are such a nice way to share our plants with each other

Nice contrast to the yellow of Pinguicula lutea, lutea = yellow.

do you keep them verry humid ?
i keep the little dome thing on mine and the flowerstalk allways ends up floping over , i don't know how though

maybe i should keep the dome thing off and not in a tererium ?

anyways got some new ones from home depot just a few minutes ago mwahahah......

well i found thre in therre !!!!!!!!!! and one was a little thing tiny tiny!!!!!!

i think they were wild colected

i found that they had been wraped in LfS and thereroots were covered with this black gook like from a real swamp or seep

it even smelt like they do

and found afew strands of bog grass ( think it's called thresh)
i sure hope they grow theyve got a bunch of flower buds on them .

I also received a P. lutea last winter which upon flowering turned out to be P. caerulea instead. It is a nice plant, so I have no complaints about the mistake.
