My
Pinguicula 'Pirouette' flower has opened!
![This plant is really a crowd-pleaser. Pinguicula 'Pirouette' flower.](https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1520/26646156622_b36c956f23_c.jpg) |
Ping flowers are so cheery. |
It's very pretty, and a nice complement to the plant itself. It also confirms the identity of this plant for me – I wasn't 100% sure this was actually
P. 'Pirouette' until I saw the flower.
Nearby, it sure seems like
Pinguicula rotundiflora wants to bloom.
![It's hard, but I've been resisting the urge to harvest all those succulent leaves for pullings. I want this plant to stay mature-sized. Pinguicula rotundiflora.](https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1535/26713995126_acce3c5560_c.jpg) |
This plant is very adorable. |
That little nub in the middle looks like a flower, but it's been hanging out for over a week. I hope it makes a move soon.
Pinguicula 'Aphrodite' is flowering again too.
![Maybe I should enter this plant in the show when it's flowering. That might be fun. Pinguicula 'Pirouette'.](https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1678/26135690323_95afe72054_c.jpg) |
I guess I really like pinkish pings. |
I'm a bit ambivalent about this one flowering actually. I grow it mostly because I love the color and shape of the foliage, and it seems to have shrunk after the last couple of blooms. Oh well. It's still nice!
Finally, Praelonga Watch: 2016 has entered its 3rd week.
![I just realized this will be a perfect show entry at the BACPS show. Stoked. Utricularia praelonga.](https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1640/26739717715_ac2a5955e8_c.jpg) |
Not my best photo, I know. |
It wasn't easy to photograph, but the
Utricularia praelonga flower stalk is now almost 5 inches tall. Let's see those flowers!
My 'Aphrodite' blooms all the time. going on 7 times in the past 2 months!
