Willy's Pings

[nimbulan]

Your Pings must grow like weeds when they can feast like that!

[WillyCKH]

Only took P. agnata a few days!

[kawarthapine]

Willy :

You should give that agnata a knickname...

How about 'Lady Die'?

Or if your plant is more masculine you could call him 'Mort' as in mortuary!

Great pic as usual.

BTW, I think you have another potential revenue stream. You could grow and sell moss flies (or larvae). I'm not kidding! I think you could make a 'go' of it.

Haha thanks for the name suggestions
I like these moss flies or whatever they are better than aphids, at least they don't harm my plants.
The trick to grow these is coffee ground and compost, they go nuts and my vegetables go nuts too.

Pinguicula 'Aphrodite' has unique 6 petals flowers!






Inside the flower... (too bad there's no pollen when I opened it) 



P. gigantea, not counting my nepenthes, this is probably the largest CP I have.

[chamelea]

It's so fascinating to see the dew going all the way up to the buds. You really captured it well in those shots.

Pinguicula moctezumae X rotundiflora

[seasmoke]

Very cool pictures, beautiful and heartless at the same time. Nice.

Pinguicula 'Pirouette'



Pinguicula 'Weser'

[WillyCKH]

Two huge pings!
Pinguicula gigantea


Pinguicula 'John Rizzo'

[Samskwatch]

In your experience with Pings, is there a type of ping that catches more fly than other?

[WillyCKH]

I think they are equally good at catching small flies and gnats. The bigger they are, the more flies they can trap!

Bonjour

Willy please P.'John Rizzi' no 'John Rizzo'

For the capture of insects it depends mainly on the season and their presence more or less important .

It should be noted that during the dormancy, for the Mexican there is no more glue on the leaves, and for the temperate  no leaves in winter ( except 1 or 2 species)

There is not a lot of flies in the winter also.
