Things are really starting to get going over in the
Pygmy Garden.

The Pygmy Garden is starting to actually look like a garden now. |
You can start seeing distinct patches developing. I'm really looking forward to seeing this a few months down the road once everything has filled in. Let's get in close!
![I feel like I'm getting a bit of an intuitive sense of pygmies now, since I've been working with them so much. Drosera omissa and other pygmy sundews.](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7492/16329489765_48dd11756f_c.jpg) |

Deep red Drosera x Carbarup. |

The prettiest one in the bunch so far, Drosera x Dork's Pink. |
I'm definitely glad I drew up
this map when I was first creating the garden. It's a bit rough, but it was enough for me to figure out which was which. There are so many pygmies in this garden! I can't even imagine how cute it's going to be when some of them start blooming.
Speaking of blooms, I've got a little something developing on my
Pinguicula laueana x
emarginata.

My first-ever bloom on a ping other than Pinguicula gigantea. |
I was just thinking earlier about how I want to pot this up into something bigger. Now I guess I'll wait at least until it's done flowering. I'm excited!
