Right, like i said over in my introduction thread, I finally managed to get my hands on some CPs today. Sadly, all of them in more or less poor condition and with no ID tags ;/
Would be cool if you guys could help me slap a name tag on these babies D: For what it's worth, all of them came from a local garden centre, so you can rest assured there's no fancy, rare, or hard to get varieties or hybrids lol.
For starters, the pinguicula.

I'm guessing it's P. x 'Tina'.

I'm thinking the first one is D. aliciae, the latter D. capensis (possibly narrow leaf?)
And finally the Sarracenias.

Right one is definitely a purpurea spp, the other two I've no idea. For all I know they could be the same with the middle one obviously being older xD
Any input would be much appreciated, cheers
Btw, think the droseras will last a week in their current condition?
Atm I only have perlite, black peat moss for aquariums (with some fertilizer -.-), and coco peat. I won't be getting proper spahgnum for a week or so (sphagnum moss is impossible to get here, even the biggest garden centers don't have it), and I'd really hate to lose the sundews in the meantime. Should I just mix up the perlite and the peat moss for aquariums or wait for the good stuff to come in? I could get some soil mix for rododendrons or cacti but, not sure how feasible that would be. And I recon two repottings a week apart would be even more stressful for the plants than just waiting. Thoughts?
