Hi guys,
I've pushed my self out of bed this morning 1 hour early then normally to get some shots of my Pinguicula and also to try to pollinate them. It was way to early this morning, just about 06:00 o clock (for students, yes there is also a 06:00 o clock in the morning ), thats why pictures are not totally brilliant, but I think you can see what I want to show you.
If you like them I might add some more species, as far as my plants go on flowering for me this way ;)
So let's start with a species very rare in culture, P. variegata. What a beauty, but also not easy to cultivate. Because pictures are also rare I made some more
The next one is P. macroceras {Surgi River, Hayade Tal, Japan}
And this is P. dertosensis {Mt. Caro, Tortosa, Spain}
P. poldinii, which just opens it's flower
What is that one? Ahh P. longifolia ssp. reichenbachiana
Or this lovely plant, which I think I got wrong labeled. It seems to be a hybrid from Valle de pineta, but who knows. In fact a wonderfull plant with nearly 3cm wide flowers
And last but not least P. balcanica typ light pink flower, which wasn't ready this morning ;)
I hope you like them and maybe you are a little jealous
Cheers Marcus
