p. "tina"  coz it looks just like mine, except i don't know what colour flower mine would have. the leaves are a bit too pointy to be tina. Vic should be able to tell from the flower.

there Vic, edited, learn something new everyday.

Suzy,

Dongliang is right, it is Pinguicula 'Tina'.

Note. Under current rules, when writing a cultivar name, there is no 'x', despite the use of one in most popular CP books, such as 'The Savage Garden' or A. Slack's two books.

Your plant look kind of like an African Violet. I have two small P. "Tina" and I hope mine turn out as lovely as yours.

I have had it for two years, and this is the first time it has flowered - it has gone mad this year :D it measures approx. 5" across

The reason I asked its name was because it has very similar leaves to those on my zecheri (I cannot compare the flowers because it hasn't flowered yet :lol: )

Suzy :wink:
