Purple flower ping

[IceDragon]

Can someone help me find out what specie this Mexican ping is?

If you need a clearer pic tell me...

 

[Starman]

WOW!!! Lovely butterwort! Hmmmm.......im dont really know what this is, it could be a hybrid. If it is a hybrid, one of its parents COULD be P.agnata, but im not sure.

moranensis perhaps?

Dont moranensis usually have pink/ light purple flowers? However, the flower shape resembeles P. moranensis "G".

 

[Starman]

Whoops, meant light violet, not light purple!

 

[IceDragon]

Well the flower is actually a bit lighter in color then in the pic, if i get the time i might get a better pic. Also I was browsing:
http://www.plantarara.com/carnivoren_galerie/pinguicula/pinguicula.htm

I thought moranensis typ 'La Vuella', potosiensis (looks about the right color though the middle of my flower has some yellow) and zecheri might be the plant.

 

[Starman]

Could you post a better pic? The plants you think might be it: The leaves look a bit short and fat compared to the leaves of your plant.

 

[IceDragon]

hmm, how about this?

 

[Starman]

Hmmmmm....... I will try my best to identify that. I have never seen a plant like that. And I mean that in a good way! Your plant is lovely! It COULD be a type of P.moranensis, since the flower structure and the leaves resemble P. moranensis(not sure how you spell it)

Looks like P.'Gina' a cross between agnata and zecheri

 

[Starman]

I just did a search on P. x Gina. It could be an unusual form of P x Gina(the flowers and leaves look different to the unknown plant) However, there is some rsemblence.

Does look like P. 'Gina'

Joseph, any comments?

 

[Starman]

The leaves of P x Gina are too short to be the leaves of the unknown plant.
This could be a cross with P x Gina with something else.
Maybe its P. x Gina x moranensis? If it is, it would explain why the plant looks similar to P. moranensis and P. x Gina.

Man, those pings, along with sethos and the two that star with an "e" all look alike to me.

Nice Ping anyways

 

[IceDragon]

thanks, I think it's a gina now because of the flower but i guess it could be something else.

Starman,
You really cannot rely on leaves to identify the plant in the pic. The leaves of 'Gina' looks similar to moranensis as one of the parent is zecheri, which has leaves that are very similar to moranensis. Flowers are the best bet.

Where did you get it?
My first thought, from the flower, is that it's a P x 'Titan'.

I am inclined to agree with CP2k that it is 'Gina' it is a spitting image of the ABG specimine

 

[IceDragon]

Joe, I got it at California Carnivores around five years ago or so.
