I've also gotten another ping from Sg. buloh about 1 week ago. Choong helped me buy it when he was there. Love this fella. Really huge. about 3.5 inches to 4 inches in diameter. Here's the picture...

You can see a flower bud growing out. I can't wait to see the flowers.
David, if I am not wrong. You could IDed it as P.'tina'. Pinguicula 'Tina' is a cross between two Mexican butterworts, Pinguicula agnata and Pinguicula zecheri.

David, how come in one of your first pics of the flower emerging, there seems to be another bud also coming out ? It kinda disapperaed after that. The pics which says `flower stalk pic taken 2 days ago`...

Tarence. The flower bud didn't dissapeared actually. It was covered by the leaves beside it when the first flower stalk grew out. I just found out 2 more are comiing out.
Would it get tired for flowering so much? Shall I cut it off?

David : i`m not sure if you should cut it off or not. does the ping seem to be weakening ? it doesn`t seem to produce seed does it ? as for me, i`ll just let it flower.
Eric : is your weird flower a sign that the ping is weakening ? i wonder....

Tarence, at the moment my ping does not look very good. As mentioned to you earlier my sundew trays dried out when I was away during the Chinese New Year holidays. So I am not sure if the reason is because of the flowering or the stress from drying out.
The flowers are wilting but still intact. So I do not know if it will seed.

Mine did not produce seed. So it may be a wasted effort to let it flower. « Last Edit: Feb 25, 2008, 2:08pm by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged jonathan

For pings to produce seeds you must self pollinate the the flower as the stigma and pollen gland are blocked by a part of the flower itself...
for me even after the pings flower it don't seems to takes a lot of energy off the plant so i guess it's ok to let it flower as long as the condition you are growing it is right...

Tarence, it is a sign that they are going into dormancy. All three Pinguicula sleeping now...

Eric, I find that Mexican Pings produce smaller and smaller leaves during the hot months. I lose many if I don't keep them in a cool and shady area during June-September period.

Guess... how is my Pinguicula.
First row from front number two from right. I almost lose it at begin and now it like... small plant.
Very messy P. "tina"
And... P."weser" also multi center come out.
Do I need to repot tina and weser? and split them to individual?

eric, i suggest you split them if u can. they can`t grow like this anyways, too crowded. most of my ping clusters got split by the rains when they were smaller. so it was an act of God for me. Mebbe that`s how it works in nature yah ? heheh.

oh my... I not confident to split them with unknown root system. I don't want another poor Ping like my first picture... I saw it myself, the Ping from diameter 4-5inches become less than one inch. This is nightmare to me.

Eric, my P. x Tina and P. x weser (fake) are doing the exact same thing as yours.
I think the multiplication of the plant is due to higher temperatures. All my pings seems to be having multiple growth points this season.
