I went back to the nursery where I got my ping and there was one left there in bloom (actually, it was a different location of the same nursery, but whatever...). I hope now I can know exactly and precisely what kind of ping I have, without ANY shadow of doubt left anywhere! (Yes, I'm being facetious, hehehe...). Seriously though, if this helps ID the ping I posted somewhere at the top of this ping forum, I'd love to hear your guys' ideas!!!
(Also, this location had a bunch of VFTs, so I grabbed three with a nice broad plastic pot and a buttload of sphag, for my balcony. I'm quite excited about that too! ^_^ I feel like I'm getting my CP fever back!)

P. moranensis, I believe.
CP Fever is almost always incurable, but quite harmless.

Hahahaha... It will definitely be a while before I have the collection I had when I was 16... I transformed my bedroom into a hothouse, with highland tanks hanging off the walls... I grew mildew on my ceiling, parents weren't happy... Amanita, that pic was from Terra out on #20, but I got my actual plant from the Terra out in Flamboro (or Waterdown? Same thing basically, I guess... ) So, is everyone thinking moranensis? Possibly still a hybrid? The leaves are so drastically different from that of moranensis I see online...

I have Heli herpes, and it looks like I'm going to have another outbreak tomorrow(thanks again, Francois!). Hopefully next year I'll have enough to spread to the whole forum!

Bad news is you won't cure it, but on the other hand it won't kill you either... Back to the question at hand though, the plant looks like it might be a little etoliated from being in low light conditions and consequently the leaves appear to be more like P. agnata with those strap shaped eaves and they are lacking the expected upturned margins on the leave's fringes, but it is probably a P. moranensis var. caudata, which has very similar looking flowers and leaves in its succulent phase. www.biopix.com/mexican-butterwort-pinguicula-caudata_photo-53185.aspxNow that's my best guess, but if you had to put a name on a tag, you might best just put Pinguicula sp. or P. NOID just to be safe, even though it really has those P. moranensis looking flowers. Have a look at later at your plant's carnivorous leaves and see if they get those upturned margins and then compare them again to the P. caudata images on the web. dvg

Do you see a noticeably thick midrib on the leaves?

No, no noticeable midrib...
And my plant is looking better with every leaf. It's getting great sun, and when It's not beaming straight into my window (i.e., night-time), I have a half-pop bottle over it. Um, and I'll confess, this is a little excessive, but I exhale into the bottle sometimes, for a bit of extra humidity and a little extra CO2... (You can make fun of me now...)
Oh, and thanks for all these awesome responses, guys!!!

It's CO2 and humidity that would otherwise just be unused, so it's not that excessive. Plus, I may have even burped into some of my humidity domes at one point or another.
