This being a remake of the cross of
Pinguicula agnata (CSUF)
♀ x
Pinguicula moctezumae♂, though the maternal parent is different. Almost all of this cross are presently blooming and I am testing them for fragrance and grading them for appearance. I think I can discern a faint scent in some, but will need more testing to be certain. I can already see that the flower of one is truly outstanding in color and form, very different from its sister plants, so far. I will photograph it and its siblings and post them here later today, so you can then see for yourselves.
And back to an earlier question; though some of them have a superficial resemblance to
Pinguicula 'Aphrodite', none, so far, match the photographic standard for that cultivar. One in particular has already shown itself to be a great improvement in flower color and form to that related cultivar, and there are several yet unbloomed.
Here is a hastily produced photograph of the clone I favor so far:
You can see that the foliage clearly resembles that of
Pinguicula 'Aphrodite', but, so far, all the flowers from this cross are various shades of lavender rather than the pink of
Pinguicula 'Aphrodite'. The clone in the photograph is larger and a richer lavender, with darker lavender markings in the throat, than its many sisters that have bloomed thus far. By coincidence it is the first one that I had removed from its community tray to display elsewhere in the house. While doing so it was dropped and most of its leaves were broken off. I used them to start new plants, so this clone is already on its way to possibly being a cultivar. A cultivar cannot be a single individual, it must be propagated. What you see in the photograph is the plant after recovering from the loss of its leaves.
I have given this clone the tentative identification of [
Pinguicula agnata (CSUF)

Pinguicula moctezumae♂ (Clone A1)]
