Settling in for Winter

A number of my Pinguicula are in Winter growth now. It's exciting to see them change.

P. macrophylla

P. 'Titan'

I think this ones going. Photoperiod is short and soil is dry. Leaves are getting smaller.

P. gigantea

About to flower!


P. gigantea (Thanks kulamauiman)
<a href="http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/companionablestatic/media/50f66096-6ec5-45a4-b6c0-0a09f687cb4e_zpsrmiuvcrd.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah278/companionablestatic/50f66096-6ec5-45a4-b6c0-0a09f687cb4e_zpsrmiuvcrd.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 50f66096-6ec5-45a4-b6c0-0a09f687cb4e_zpsrmiuvcrd.jpg"/></a>

I'm pretty sure the P. gigantea are entering winter growth. They get a little more upright.

P. 'Aphrodite' back. P. agnata, front. (Thanks kulamauiman!)

I lost the 'Aphrodite' mother plant. Sunburn. I'm glad to have that plant started from a pulling. That clone of agnata turns a delightful purple in good light. It also has distinct "drool edges."

Just for fun, those two shortly after the trip from Northeast to the Northwest. Circa two months ago
