Yes, Santa has arrived early here, dropping off a load of pinguicula clones.

Here's one I planted on a lava rock. Pretty cool, huh? By the way, it was in a small plastic pot with standard CP soil before, and since I put it one the rock it's grown three times bigger in just a couple weeks. It was refusing to grow before.

Now I still haven't pinned down the species or cultivar of the plants above. It's possible they all came from the same "mother" plant. One characteristic of this plant: It offsets like crazy and it's ridiculously easy to clone by simply taking a leaf and laying it flat on a moist soil surface.

However, I just recently figured out that I have another kind of ping that looks somewhat like those above.

Notice the leaves are wider and somewhat rounder. This plant does not seem to want to offset at all. I think this is the only specimen I have.

Can anyone ID the two different kinds of pings? I really haven't a clue... except that I'm pretty sure both are Mexican.
