I've just had a quick look at the wikipedia article.. I would assume that only Pinguiculas with the same number of chromosomes could reproduce with eachother? I suppose this is a moot point as I dont know any of the chromosome numbers
As for naming: Would the pollen donor be mentioned first or the pollen acceptor (the plant from which the seed would be harvested)?
Thanks for your advice so far!
I was going to try and cross a couple of my Mexican Pings as they all seem to be in sync as it were.
I was just wondering if all Mexican Pings could cross with all others. For instance would what I like to call long leaved Pings (moctezumae/heterophylla/gypsicola etc.) be able to cross with the small pings (esseriana/jaumavensis/gracilis etc.). The cross I have in mind is a hemiepiphytica x moctezumae perhaps or vice versa.
Any guidance would be lover-ly
Thanks
P.S.
I just found out that moctezumae x hemiepiphytica is a viable cross. Haven't seen any flowers though
I agree with Noah! The Pings see to work really well on them! Maybe I should have look around for some likely looking rocks! Is it literally sticking a couple of plants on top of the rock? or is some sort of substrate involved?
Just a small update, I thought I would miss my P. moctezumae flowering, but here it is, two weeks old now, and I think it will be dying off soon, slightly dicey photos, but you get the idea.
thanks
I live just down the road from Croydon, but was (fortunately) on holiday. I have to say it was a bit omnious coming back after two beautiful weeks in the Jura to a burning town
