I adopted this Ping from Home Depot a few months back and it has been growing under compact flourescents in my collection since then. I'm still not sure what kind of Ping it is, so if anyone could help me out with the name I'd greatly appreciate it
You'll need a flower to have a chance to determine the identity with any certainty. But an observation of your images gives a strong indication that it is most likely a Mexican species, hybrid, or cultivar.
Good job with the cultivation. There's nothing like fluorescents to create robust, well-shaped and colored Pinguicula plants.
I'm jealous, my home depot ping isn't as pretty. It's big and green, had a purplish flower. I believe it is some kind of Moranesis hybrid. But that is one pretty ping!
WOW!! LLeopardGGecko that is a very very beautiful plant.. Must be nice to be able to find such awsome plants at your Home Depot, mine dont carry no CP plants of any type..
well if its the same one i got from HD its some Mexi hybrid. easy to grow but not as free flowering as some of my other hybrids. only seems to get one flower in the pot at a time even though i have a half dozen different plants in the same pot.
here is my mexican ping. from home depot. obviously it does not get as much light as yours, but its growing pretty well.
i heard some discussion about standing this plant in water.? well mine is replanted in 2:1 peat/perlite. it looks a little watterlogged, is this alright?
very nice plant by the way
I have never seen anything but primuliflora sold in hardware stores or greenhouses. Hmmm...may have to go check around since I suffered heavy ping losses over the summer.
Do you get it from the HD in Billings? I check throughout the growing season and have yet to see any butterworts. Lowes got some in, but they looked like P. lusitanica.
