WOW!! I agree with LLeopardGGecko, very very beautiful and the pic is awsome..

Very nice job. Good growing.

Are you sure of your id. ?

It makes me think of more of a plant from complex P. ehlersiae/P. esseriana.

The flower will confirm soon

Thanks for the edit, though I am not sure it is truly a species ( I have not seen a published description has anyone else?) I you have, point me in that direction. No , I am not *sure* of the name, ony what I purchased the little bugger as so long ago.

This website will help with that:

CP Database

CP Database search for P. reticulata

It is a well known species, not a cultivar.

Here are the latest pics:

Looks as though this one was is a mis id.

Any guesses?

 

[dgower82]

I wanna say that it is either P. esseriana P. ehlersiae or P. jaumavensis.

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

Well whatever it is it sure is pretty. Its like a mini orchid

 

[Gawd_oOo]

Looks like Pinguicula jaumavensis to me.
