P. spec. Minas des Asbestos

This rare and very small Mexican Pinguicula species is starting to color up well under the lights.

A few springtail/bloodworm feedings have helped it to put on some size in the last couple of months.

Looking forward to seeing how this one matures. :cool:

Oh that is a very attractive color :drool: That is sooo well grown!
 
That is a rather interesting pinguicula. Can't believe how relatively miniscule the size of the adult plant is!

Thanks for sharing!
 
That's gorgeous! I'd love to see that plant get spread around.
 
Given the name....you might not want to inhale too deeply around the thing...just sayin. :lol:
 
Looking real good!
 
Awesome little thing! I've really got to get some Mexican Pings.
 
That's a beaut!
 
I love the purplish dews. I've got P. "sierra mazatecs" that has that color. Well done!

This one is quite unlike any other Pinguicula specimen in my collection.

I think the most interesting aspect of this plant is that it originates around an asbestos mine....
