Amazing white ping

[Brie]

I just came across this amazing looking ping on a european CP site.. I've never seen anything like it, anyone know what this is?

P. "omgmusthave" ;P

No seriously.
I'm sort of bummed. No way of telling.

Of course it's not the obvious "P. Variegata" (I checked )

I guess the only way would be to email them asking.

 

[Wire Man]

Oh wow..... That looks amazing, but I bet it's tricky to grow.

 

[bluemax]

Lovely. It looks even more like a flower than non-variegated pings do.

Pretty. I wonder how slow it grows with such a lack of chlorophyll.

 

[xQuinnx]

Oh wow, that's gorgeous O.O;;

 

[Wolfn]

Must....purchase

You could ask the site owner (David Švarc I think) for which the image is taken.

It's in the first post Jim. Maybe the hosting site was down when you looked or you have something in your browser blocking it?

Photoshop is a software created by the US software company Adobe, isn't it?
Perhaps give it a try with Photoshop and one of your Pinguicula photos!

 

[jimscott]

Photoshop?! It isn't real? Oh gullible me!

 

[cpsammich]

I emailed him

Why is it whenever something out of the norm pops up, everyone screams photoshopped?

CP, cool man.. thanks.. You beat me too it. Thanks for letting us know.

There are photoshopped photos on the Internet (at least that is what I have been told).

And if you lookup the EXIF properties of the JPG file with the photo of the white Pinguicula, you can easily see which software was used to create the picture. Maybe he only used Photoshop to shrink the size of his original photo.
