Just before repotting, the two fully mature gigantea I have; white flower did not pause for a second afterward and is still monstrous, "red blush" has shrunk slightly

Florida P. pumila I grew from seed. Rosette 2 inches across. The flower opened white, becoming purple.

These two bloomed simultaneously again so I crossed them again.
...and I have seeds...
P. gigantea by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. kondoi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Also I think crossed this with gigantea

It would seem that in my conditions, the addition of any peat at all is a real problem for some Pings...or, possibly, even the perlite needs washing or something in it reacts to the peat tannins...so I lost my cyclosecta 1714 among other things, and got this as a replacement (a friend is sending a new 1714 tho...now have to find a spot for it):

Also crossed it with emarginata and white gigantea...and attempted with some complex hybrids but most of those seem to have failed
