Following are two images taken this morning, 7Jul06 of 2 inch pots of hybrid seedlings. One is the cross Pinguicula gigantea x Pinguicula moctezumae and the other is Pinguicula moctezumae x Pinguicula gigantea. Both parents were pollinated at the same time, by swapping pollen between the two parents. The seed did not mature at the same rate, but almost a month apart, Pinguicula gigantea x Pinguicula moctezumae seed matured a month later. I sowed them at the same time, once both were mature, and they began germinating at nearly the same time.
I will soon give them more room by transplanting them in groups into community pots of about 5 plants each, using a dissecting needle.
