Two of my new favorite species!

Here is a large, red form of Pinguicula emarginata.  It has been a constant flowerer for me and the growth is extremely rapid.  It is also a fast multiplier.  I started with just a few tiny plantlets last autumn, and they have already turned into this:

Following is a close-up of one of the flowers.  I love the shape of the flowers on this one!

Although it has not yet bloomed for me, I can't help but loving the wonderful leaves of Pinguicula colimensis.  They have extremely long (for a ping) stalked glands that make it look almost Drosera-like in some way.  The leaves remain this wonderful yellow-green color regardless of light intensity (much like P. gigantea ).

Here is another view of the same plant, providing another glimpse of the stalked glands:
