P. spec. Minas des Asbestos

[dvg]

This rare and very small Mexican Pinguicula species is starting to color up well under the lights.

A few springtail/bloodworm feedings have helped it to put on some size in the last couple of months.

Looking forward to seeing how this one matures.

That is a rather interesting pinguicula. Can't believe how relatively miniscule the size of the adult plant is!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[Dexenthes]

That's gorgeous! I'd love to see that plant get spread around.

Given the name....you might not want to inhale too deeply around the thing...just sayin.

[dvg]

Thanks for the kind words.

Here is another update on this mexi-ping, currently sending out some additional roots.

This one is quite unlike any other Pinguicula specimen in my collection.

I think the most interesting aspect of this plant is that it originates around an asbestos mine....

 

[Evil Gnome]
