It's a beauty.

Hey, Cindy what is the x in the ping leaves?, Drosera36 qhat specie is that redfull ping!!!, i love pings, they should grow in terrariums

The plant shown in the link provided by gardenofeden is not a Pinguicula gypsicola, but rather a hybrid including it as one of the parents.

ImWindPlant, the X on the leaves are thawed frozen blood worms.

I made a trade with one of the forum members, I do not recall who, and got a P. pirouette <span style='color:red'>[Edit: This plant is actually a registered cultivar and the name is written: Pinguicula 'Pirouette']</span> from him. Mine is still alive and well but not quite as pink as the photo he sent me of the parent plants.

Now this is "PINK".

Even if that gypsicola is a hybrid I want one to add to my collection.

Lauderdale, that is a lovely form of ping. such a pretty pink, I will be looking out for some of those as well.

very pretty, are they grown under lights?

Us "natural" growers cannot get the intense colours that some like Pinguiculaman manage....

If I remember correctly he was growing them under flourescent lights.
I am growing mine in BRIGHT shade, early morning and late afternoon sun only, here in Florida and mine are pretty close to that color.
I am going to take leaf cuttings to get more plants and experiment with full sun vs the current conditions.

Lauderdale,
Sure looks like your growing conditions are excellent. Do your plants ever experience any frost?
