Pinguicula IDs

[Crissytal]

Both of these Pings I've had for a long time. They survived the Ping genocide I had awhile ago.

This first one something happened with the tag. It's certainly not a P. cyclosecta. At the time I had: P. jaumavensis, P. esseriana, and I think P. Yucca Do 1713.

Unfortunately it's yet to flower for me. On the left is a leaf pulling from the same plant.

This other one I have IDed as P. reticulata. It may be correct for all I know. I can't seem to find any P. reticulata pictures that match it on the web. As the the one above, I'm yet to see any flowers. The leaf form is a bit odd as well, it never changes.

Thanks for any help,
Crystal

1713 was my first thought for the little guy on the left... or 1717.

Might be 1717 Jim. I wasn't completely sure of the numbers. I received them both from you a few years back. Something weird happened with my ID tags.

LOL! Gosh.. that's never happened to me...

No thoughts from the Pinguicula enthusiasts? I'll see about reducing the size of the pictures a bit.

This is what I have as reticulata. For all I know this could be rectifolia:

agnata x gypsicola

1713

1717

Time for clearer / updated pictures!

Hey Jim,

Thanks for all the pictures. I think my first Ping is 1717. Did you have 1717 and 1713 at the same time? I think I got these from you about 2-3 years ago. I'll label it as 1717 with a question mark. Maybe I'll get a flower one day.

The P. reticulata on the other hand, I have no idea. It's like in winter mode but with dew. Even leaf pullings that strike have the weird leaf form. I guess I'll leave it labeled as reticulata for now. Maybe between the two of us, one of us will get a flower one day, or get it producing carnivorous leaves. It's frustrating lol.

Thanks again Jim for your help. Most appreicated .

EDIT - I still might have that piece of paper you sent me with the numbers and names of the plants. If I can find it, it will solve the mystery of the first one.

I have had them at the same time, so there is a good possibility. You're getting good lighting on them!
