next question....

 

[Spectabilis73]

describe pinguicula gypsicola.





sumer and winter rossets.



heh heh,you'll never get it!

...or will you?

 

[Vic Brown]

describe Pinguicula gypsicola:

Beautiful

describe the summer rosette:

Spidery, long narrow pale green leaves and very glandular, almost looks like a Drosera. I grow a P. gypsicola x P. moranensis plant, 'Frazers Red Leaf', should be in the first question and it is so glandular it looks as sticky as my D. schizandra.

describe the winter rosette:

Very compact, hairy succulent.

Question:

[Spectabilis73]

which ping can curl its leaves around prey?

 

[Joseph Clemens]

Many Pinguicula can curl their leaf margins around prey, but Pinguicula lusitanica seems to do one of the best jobs of this. I don't know of any that have leaves as flexible as Drosera regia though.

 

[Spectabilis73]

really? I was just asking, wasn't even sure it was true!

 

[Spectabilis73]

how did ping. x 'John Rizzi' come to be?

what species of pinguicula is sticky on both sides of its leaf?

 

[Joseph Clemens]

Peter D'Amato says that he believes it to be hummingbird pollinated, P. moranensis x unknown which was grown to maturity by John Rizzi, its namesake. This is in his book "The Savage Garden".

 

[CP2k]

The moranensis parent of P.xJohn Rizzi is moranensis var. Superba.

As for the pings with leaves sticky on both sides:
P.gigantea and P.agnata 'CSUF'.
