My vote if Ping Pirouette- plant is 2 3/8 inches across. Might have some to trade in a while as some recent leaf pullings taken.

I like them too but mine don't look even close to what yours do... Are you in full sun or under lights? Cya

Ya I have one too but its no where that pink. I would sure like a gypsicola that’s a nice one. cyclosecta is another eye grabber. Mine just has a light tinge of purple on the edge of the leafs. I have been feeding mine quite regular. They grow big and flower lots but one doesn’t get the coloring. Fluorescents help too. Stephen

Curlin do you know what type of ping is that ? I got one of them but do not know what it is. mine is as red as that one the closer you put it to the light the nicer the color.

Beauty plant Curlingguy, shaped almost exactly like my P. "sethos" F2 (thanks Sib) I imagine that P.gypsicola is going to be one of my faves if/when I get one... The "cutest" Ping I ever saw, which was actually my first, was a P. emarginata x cyclosecta that Tommy sent me, it's was a real pretty little thing, but a snail had hitched a ride in the little chunk of medium and I didn't notice it- over the course of about 2 weeks it ate the WHOLE thing (which was good in a way, I had thought I was killing it by not klnowing how to care for it, the fact that a snail ate it made me understand that it wasn't fully my fault- every Ping I've had since has been great for me)

Mabu you grow dews like no tomorow, if you can do that, pings will be a walk in the park. I seem to have problems with dews. Stephen

Stephen, could it have to do with not enough light? Thats the problem I had until I got another Neon... That what I like about pings they don't need much light to grow well they just need alot of light to be pinkish red... Cya

I would say my fav would be esseriana. Especially the well grown one in martin's pics a while back. That thing impressed my mom soo much. Apart from that,....well...I guess I am not tooo much into pings. If I was to rate my CP interests : 1) VFT's and Neps (both are up there) 2) ceph 3) Sarrs & Drosera 4) utricularia 5) Pings and something which I dont even know where I would rank becos I know its hard to grow is "Aldrovanda"
