Several of these guys heading into dormancy, but a month ago they looked decent

New arrivals doing well!
P. esseriana by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
This guy was doing well up until a repot; now only a single plantlet looks decent and survival of the others is probably likely but they look awful. Same situation with my P. caerulea and the primul white flower. the biggest 'Rose' plant in the Nepenthes pot is still fine though, go figure...

Whatever they're in, it's only that, not a mix or top-dressed like most of the other pots. And if it's turface, I wouldn't have a clue as they came with a small bag of it for planting from the source; I didn't buy it myself.
Also, the pieces are not that big; it's only a 2" pot, if that, and the species is a really small one when dormant.

Esseriana awake once more

Also, finally got P. lusitanica in the right pot! And there is probably a good 80 seedlings.....

Really hoping the crosses take this time as every other hybrid attempt I've made has failed. I am also realizing now that the sp. 1717 looks a whole lot like cyclosecta, but with some differences in leaf shape (not much in color though).
Also took a bunch of pullings to save my ehlersiae, and now I have more plantlets than I know what to do with....

Amazing clones
No flowers this round, but dormant pings always look cool

As do the ones that never sleep
P. rotundiflora x hemiepiphytica by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. 'Aphrodite' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And apparently, I never posted any progress updates here on my first hybrid; here it is, growing very well and already looking promising (3 different seedlings here)
P. moranensis 'Huahuapan' x esseriana by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
My primul trio are also doing well
P. primuliflora 'Rose' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. primuliflora typical by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. primuliflora "white flower, Blackwater FL" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And lastly, though I finally have some healthy plants in the pot they're meant to be, the lusitanica underneath my N. rajah x jacq are still the best looking

P. primuliflora "white flower, Blackwater St. Pk. FL" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
But, a bit of news: crossed P. sp. Yucca do 1717 x esseriana and the reverse, and this time got seeds both ways! Now praying they'll sprout and give something of note

Generally, I don't give Maxsea to Pinguicula, but when I do it's the same pipette dropper that I use for everything else. And seeds are just sown on soil and kept moist; as I've only had one set of seeds actually germinate thus far (where the Mexican species are concerned, and very few sets attempted either) can't say I have info on a "best option" for that.
