Nice Pic Jim! My P. moranensis keeps aborting it's flower stalk. Not sure why yet.

I'm wondering if my encantada is in fact a gigantea x moctezumae.

I highly recommend that Pinguicula lover's become familiar with a few websites that have always been invaluable to me:

CP Database - Compiled by Jan Schlauer and maintained and operated by Rick Walker.

"Pings": Care and Cultivation - By Rick Walker, a page in the CP Database.

A World of Pinguicula - By Eric Partrat and Dr. Laurent Lagendre, but contributed to by many others.

CP Photofinder - Pinguicula section - By Bob Zeimer.

There are also several online discussion forums: Terraforums/CPUK Forum/ICPS Forum and probably others.

Thanks for the links. i was looking through the one and at first thsi chart confused me:

Temperature Key: Summer Winter: Growing period:

1 32-34F 46-68F 4-6 months
2 34-39F 59-84 7-9 months
3 26-34F 45-65F 3-4 months
4 40-55F 60-85F year-round
5 35-50F 70-90F year-round

then I looked more up at the countries being mentioned and it hit me that there were some Southern Hemisphere species in the mix.
