The whole plant is the size of the P on the label.

The flower is twice the size of the body.

A very welcome sight on the 1st January in an unheated greenhouse.

Incidentally, it's just one of three Pinguicula in flower at the moment. Makes you wonder where these claims of climate change come from

Yes, agree with everything you said.

That was my experience with this species as well: flowers on very short stalks.

I wonder if Fred is growing a different species clone than our's or if instead the longer flower stalks are due to his greenhouse growing conditions.

Whatever the reason, diversity is exciting.
