osmosis Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Common, I know, but I am rather pleased with these as a sideline, growing with highland nepenthes Pinguicula gypsicola Pincuicula esseriana Pinguicula cyclosecta - I love the flowers on these. Should be a good show later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimscott Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 P. gypsicolas are the bestest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 What is your soil mix? About equal parts of seramis, vermiculite, perlite and sand with a bit of John Innes No.1 For the gypsicolas I crushed, to varying degrees, tufa rock and mixed 80% of the standard mix with 20% of that Next year I am going to try growing the gypsicolas directly in the tufa rock, with a bit of medium to get them started. I can't remember where I saw that once a long time ago, but it was spectacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm wondering that nobody notice that it isn't P. gypsicola on the first photos.... P. gypsicola is one of the most cultivated species and nobody knows how it really looks like. However, the plants look very nice.

jimscott Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is it a P. moctezumae? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Can't be - I grow that as well and the flower is completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 The plants on the first picture are definitely Pinguicula gypsicola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The plants on the first picture are definitely Pinguicula gypsicola. Definitely not! The plants in the first picture are the same as in the second. It's Kamil's hybrid gypsicola x moctezumae. Cheers, Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andreas Eils Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Hello, I haven´t discovered this thread earlier. Markus is right! The leaves of P. gypsicola should be longer than those on the plants on the photos. And the flower is significantly different. I have older photos of my P. gypsicola at home. I need to search for them first and can show them here if you want. My mature plant is not yet in full growth and a flower bud just appears.

osmosis Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Well, thanks for the information Markus and Andreas. It was worth posting to find this out. I'll have to get myself a proper gypsicola now as well. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andreas Eils Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yes, you have! As these long narrow summer leaves of D. gypsicola are a really nice view! Greetings, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Just for information, I checked my records and this mislabelled plant came from Nepenti in 2006 Dissapointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andreas Eils Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) THE REAL THING: Plant obtained from Wistuba in 2000. Pictures made in summer 2003.

jimscott Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 The reason why I guessed moctezumae is because these young hybrids were recently sent to me: P. gracilis x moctezumae G. gigantea x moctezumae P. moctezumae (labeled as such) P. moctezumae x kohres P. moctezumae x kohres P. gypsicola x kohres P. gypsicola P. gypsicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 My Pinguicula gypsicola looks very equal like the one on the first picture. I will have to wait until a flower but I also might have a hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly guy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi, I just found this thread. Strangely, here is my ping labelled P.gypsicola x moctezumae. However, looking at the pictures above, it seems to be more like pure P. gypsiola, don't you think? Cheers, Radek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimfoxy Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Your P. cyclosecta are doing superbly. Mine are not so luscious - not sure what it is they are not liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
