Like the title says. Like it doesn't say, I'm pretty bad with keeping track of Pinguicula growing on rocks...if it helps, those flowers are huge in comparison to my other Pinguicula:

For what it's worth - I'd guess that because of the flower size and color and because of the leaf shape it is a hybrid with P. moctezumae as one of the parents. It could even be a complex hybrid. I could be completely wrong, however.
 
I think Mark is spot on - I'd bet moctezumae parentage, but hard to know what it's crossed with. Whatever it is, that's a very pretty hybrid!

I try and take a picture of my ping rocks and then label the picture. Invariably, a plant won't thrive or I'll pop a pulling on to see how it does and eventually my 'picture map' becomes outdated. My best intentions are often outcompeted by the chaos of the jungle. :)
 
If it is a moctezumae cross then we could try to figure out where the purple coloring comes from. Cyclosecta, maybe? The CP Photofinder has photos of ping hybrids so that could be a help.
 
If referencing the red-purple blush in the leaves, that can come from a huge number of sources. laueana, emarginata influence, rotundiflora, some moranensis and agnata clones, will all pass on red leaf color, so that won't narrow it down. If it were a cyclosecta hybrid, the flower would be more purple, and it would be a very distinctive purple shade in the leaves different from what I see there.
 
Comme le titre l'indique. Même s'il ne le dit pas, je suis plutôt nul pour suivre les Pinguicula qui poussent sur les rochers… Si ça peut aider, ces fleurs sont énormes comparées à mes autres Pinguicula :
Impossible d être sûr mais ça ressemble à p x 'anna' niveau fleur..
