Pinguicula 'Down Under' ?

[jrod]

I just came accross this cultivar description on the ICPS website. Is anyone growing this guy? Has anyone heard of it in recent cultivation, especially in the US? If so, I'd love to track one down!

Here's the link:

Something got a bit screwed up when I tried to post this before. Admins, if it's a double post, feel free to delete the second one.

Wow, it's a beauty. I've never heard of it. I love reading cultivar descriptions.

Yeah it's a beauty. Hopefully it hasn't gone the way of the Dodo...

I agree, and would like to include it in my collection, if only to see how it performs for me and what it looks like in real life.

But that is the nature of the Cultivar Registration system - plants that become popular, survive and those that don't, fade into extinction.
