I'm growing CPs in the Desert of Tucson, Az

It was bought labeled as Pinguicula lutea, obviously it is not.  It seams closer to Pinguicula caerulea .  Anyone wanna dissagree with that?

   i polinated these with eachother and the flowers faded away within 12 hrs.  so i think they took.  (begins to pray) hehe.  well here they are.

That's P. caerulea, my friend. Congrads!!
 
Andrew,

Were these two separate plants?

Of course, Pinguicula caerulea, caerulea = blue. Digital images are such a nice way to share our plants with each other

Nice contrast to the yellow of Pinguicula lutea, lutea = yellow.
 
Yes sir, these are two different plants.  I crossed these allong with another that happened to be open at the time.  

edit: anything else i should know about making or collecting the seed of this plant?
Later,
 
do you keep them verry humid ?
i keep the little dome thing on mine and the flowerstalk allways ends up floping over , i don't know how though

i don't keep them in the cup no. but my grow room is fairly humid. stays arroun 45-70% the flower stalks are pretty stable on them really...
Later,
 
kool , thank you .....
will have to invest in a humidifyer LOL!!!!!!!

my parents have one but it's so full of caked on minerals .
i'm the only one who cleans it ......
 
I also received a P. lutea last winter which upon flowering turned out to be P. caerulea instead. It is a nice plant, so I have no complaints about the mistake.
