Dan5 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi all, I bought an unlabelled ping from a local plant shop quite a few years back now and I still grow several of its propagated offspring today. Would someone be able to id it from the attached pics? It would be nice to know what it's called.

Dave Evans Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Looks like P. agnata x P. moranensis to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisscool_38 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 This is the Pinguicula x 'Tina', quite common in garden centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Ah, the flower looked a little extreme for moranensis, but there are a lot of different moranensis forms... And zecheri is a kind of moranensis with larger flowers... Interesting... Edited November 14, 2014 by Dave Evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan5 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions, I thought it would be a common easily identifiable form, perhaps not. It does look like the suggestions given when I google it. I don't know much about Pinguiculas but this one seems to do well for me, would it originate from mexico or elsewhere?

SoLongFairWell Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 It's a Tina. Treat it as a Mexican Ping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It orginates from someone's greenhouse or collection. It is a hybrid of two Mexican Butterworts. These are some of the most easily grown Carnivorous Plants. Basically treat them similar to African Violets and you'll have very little in the way of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
