Picavorus Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Are anyone else's plants starting to die back for their winter dormancy. I've noticed that numerous Pinguicula have already formed hibernacula, or are in the midst of doing so, and the pitchers on many of the Sarracenia are starting to brown off. It seems really early this year, unless the plants know something that we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Nope, everything still going strong here I'm afraid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I only have one ping gone dormant so far, a rio ara that was recently bought, everything else is still ok. Other years i would say they went dormany earlier, especially the grandifloras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 my temperate pings are going dormant too,don't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I've noticed also in wild that some pinguiculas, after flowers and the end of the annual cycle, go dormant (I see hibernacula in July)... I think that if hibernaculum is sorrounded of gemmae, it is all ok, and it is a strong hibernaculum, ready to survive the colder months... if not, it can be a weaky summer hibernaculum... my p. Vulgaris is now dormant, but some of the gemmae that it has produced are waking up just now;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks, I'm glad it's not just mine that are starting going into dormancy. It just seems earlier than normal this year for some reason. Edited August 28, 2017 by Picavorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil1984 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks, I'm glad it's not just mine that are starting going into dormancy.

But my ping tinas have got new flowers coming up.Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) P. Tina is another thing... many Mexican pinguiculas produce flower even when they are in winter rosette;-) in my growing conditions they go in dormant rest in november/ december Edited August 28, 2017 by Argo88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad thing lol!Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil1984 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I can show you some pics of my grandiflora if you'd like. I'll take some pics of the centre and under the leaves, I'm sure I spotted some hibernacula?Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argo88 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 No, I live in Italy... I've seen your grandiflora's photos, and it is forming the hibernaculum, I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo88 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Mexican pinguiculas are different... in dry season they are not carnivorous and some of them, in the start or in the end or the winter rest, make the flower stalk;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedog0628 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Most of my plants are still growing. All VFTs, Drosera capensis and binatas are producing new leaves. Sarracenia purpurea ssp purpurea has got a few last year's pitchers starting to turn brown but new pitchers are still forming. The only plant that slowed down is my Darlingtonia but that could just be the result of it producing stolons instead of pitchers (I noticed one in late spring and now it produced another one), couple of the older pitchers are also starting to die off. We did have quite a warm summer here (until a few days ago) so I'm not expecting the plants to go dormant for another month at least, maybe longer. This year is not as warm as last, but even now the night temperatures are still in double digits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
