I'm so excited! I finally got my hands on some mexi pings, and they are so cute I can hardly stand it. I've been searching for them for what seems like forever, but all I had to do was come here and wham! here I am showing them off thanks to one of your members. What a great site! Thanks Willy for my new additions. And the equally adorable drosera.
Here's my list:
Pinguicula agnata Pinguicula emarginata Pinguicula esseriana Pinguicula jaumavensis Pinguicula kondoi Pinguicula moranensis X ehlersiae Pinguicula 'Pirouette' Pinguicula 'Sethos' Pinguicula 'Weser' Drosera adelae
Where's the best place to get culture information? Some of these are so tiny...I don't want to make any mistakes.
I have a T5HO light that I have them about 4" under. At the very end of the fixture. Are they too close?
Thanks for your expertise!

Do you have to have an online album to post photos?

Nice plants! What's the cute little sundew in the back there? Yes, I'm quite ecstatic to have such a nice little group thanks to Willy. Now, I just have to keep them growing and thriving and multiplying! That cutie in the back is Drosera adelae. (Darn auto correct keeps changing the name!) It was a surprise...and I love it.

Looking great! You are gonna like the P. 'Pirouette' flower, it's very nice. That IS pretty! I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's already a couple of inches above the plant and unfurling, it seems, hourly. This, coming from an orchid grower who's used to waiting months for a flower spike to mature.

Haha! The iPhone certainly doesn't compete with Willy's nice camera.

Haha! The iPhone certainly doesn't compete with Willy's nice camera. Nice flower and photo! Can't believe how fast it has bloomed, from just a tiny bud when you've first gotten the plant!
