Jeff 2, mostly turface and I have added crushed coral for some of the plants as well as a little bit of iron oxide powder. The P. jaumavensis I added a bit of cat litter. They are not all the same mix. I am still looking for some of the materials I see listed in substrate recipes...just tonight Nimbulan and I were trying to figure out where to get decent coarse-grained sand. I am a newbie so very open to further suggestion! By the way Jeff2 I love your plants and you are always making me want to get more pings! I just ordered 8 species of Mexican and temperate pinguicula and 3 hybrid plants over the weekend

Whoa... you have P. gypsicola! I would kill.... I mean wound slightly for a even a leaf! Do you do trades? Check out my pictures, if you're interested:

Want some gypsum for the gypsum species? I got more than I needed from the Portland Nursery.

jimscott - Unfortunately I am still a beginner with these so I'm just focused on trying not to kill it at the moment. If I manage to propagate it I will surely come to TF first!

Benurmanii - Sure I will take some off your hands. I would be more than happy to split the cost with you as well.

Here's a few Mexican Pinguicula hybrids that just came yesterday:

P. 'John Rizzi' The nicest condition of the bunch


P. 'Kewensis' Looks like half a plant but should be fine


P. 'Pirouette'

Jeff I do not have any plants but these seeds are coming right now: P. corsica, grandiflora, macroceras ssp. nortensis, poldinii, and vulgaris. Don't know if I will have any success but figure I will try!
