Curiously enough, here are photos of some species that have responded most quickly to the return of normal growing conditions, after almost four years of nearly total dryness. Pinguicula rectifolia --> Pinguicula reticulata --> Pinguicula gracilis --> Pinguicula moctezumae x Pinguicula gigantea --> The Pinguicula gypsicola, below is just now growing back into its winter rosette. Some others have only grown very abbreviated summer leaves, for a few years now. Some varieties of Pinguicula seem to be so prolific (via intrinsic vegetative modes), that it seems difficult to maintain one plant to one pot. Pingiucula gracilis, Pinguicula reticulata, Pinguicula esseriana, and Pinguicula rotundiflora seem to be particularly noteworthy for this behavior.

Here are other photos of more species showing good recovery: Pinguicula jaumavensis (or it might be Pinguicula debbertiana - I misplaced the label from this pot) --> A tray of Pinguicula jaumavensis, before they were unintentionally neglected --> Pinguicula laueana --> Pinguicula esseriana --> Pinguicula rotundiflora -->

I love the genus Pinguicula and I have greatly appreciated your work and dedication to them. Pinguicula transmit your great health! I hope one day to be as good Pinguicula grower, as you! Do you have any site? Best Regards, from Portugal
