P. caerulea

[homer]

I recently bought this plant from Cooks Carnivores, and it seems to have produced a plantlet.  I wasn't aware that this species produces plantlets...    Your thoughts?

I have a similar story. Awhile ago someone posted that they got P. caerulea from Lowes. So I picked up one. In a short while it flowered. Just another P. primuliflora. Can't tell by the picture because so many of them look alike - but plantlets usually indicate a primuliflora. I also posted about whether Pings produced plantlets. Someone replied that it could be ionatha - but it was just a primuliflora. Let is know when it flowers.

Could also be a volunteer seedling. I've had my own Pinguicula caerulea do just that, more than once.

I got a P. ionantha at lowes once. I thought it was a P. primuliflora until it bloomed.

The way the larger leaves curl and twist above the little plantlet, put me most in mind that it is, perhaps, Pinguicula primuliflora.

I hope its not a primuliflora.  It doesn't look like my primuliflora that I have... its leaves (the one in the picture) are very twisted compared to my other pings.  Looks healthy though...
