P. potosiensis purple?

[IncaRoads]

Hi,
  I'm just curious if anyone else grows, P. potosiensis.  Mine has turned purple/red and I was wondering if this is a normal color for it or is it getting too much light?  If I remember right last year it was a similar color.  It just isn't looking as good as normal, so I'm concerned its getting fried.  Could just be since I repotted it a few weeks back though.  Its only on 2 15" floros.  Here is a pic.  Its in the front left and back right of the tank.

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Here is a photo of one of my own Pinguicula potosiensis growing under similar conditions. The new leaves should color up in a few more weeks.

I also have clones that have no red in their leaves and always look bright green.</span>

Don't worry, your plant are healthy. I have few plants rised from seeds : See pictures.

Pinguicula potosiensis

The green form is amazing, staying green even in full sun...

My only question is why is it published as a new species as the plant is so close to many forms of Pinguicula moranensis

Thanks for the help, that definately makes me feel better. I didn't want to kill this great ping.

Here is Pinguicula potosiensis in wild very variable in leaf coloration.

What do you guys think of te taxonomy of this plant? I haven't seen flowers yet. Is it really different enough to merit a new species??

In my opinion, the flowers of potosiensis do not look all that different from my purple-flowered moranensis varities. P.moranensis just seems to be so common and widespread in Mexico.
