While going through my seedlings a noticed an odd looking Pinguicula primuliflora seedling and on closer inspection I realized it was sending up a flower! The seedling is only 1/2 a centimeter in diameter too!
For some reason I can't grow these. I had 4 earlier this year but all of them died. Strange. I grow Moranensis and Agnata just fine but these seem "tricky"!
Jim - they are from seed, I think a flower on one of my plants was pollinated and the seed got spread around my collection because I have a bunch of these little guys popping up in neighbooring pots, and P. primuliflora is the only temperate ping I grow so I dont know what elsle it could be.
Has it even bloomed yet Max?!?!?
i must see this!!!
i imagine it will bloom a little faster than an adult since the flower isnt going to be near as big lol?
anticipation!
I'm sure it's possible from seed, just not typical, from most of us who are getting our first plants from a "Lowes Cube Of Death". I can personally vouch for P. lusitanica spreading all over the place - in my D. capillaris and P. gypsicola, for instance. Those are as bad a U. subulata!
Well, it looks like flowering was to much for the little guy, unforunatly it died. It probably didnt have enough energy to support a flower as its only a seedling.
Hey Bob,
There is a chance it may be P. lusitanica, Brian Barnes also suggested that it could be P. pumila, I guess we will have to wait till the others grow up.
