Hello Friends, Well, after a year and a half of waiting and keeping my fingers crossed, I'm pleased to introduce to you my new Pinguicula hybrid; P. macrophylla X P. AnPa D. or soon to be called "P. X Cherri Baby" And....here she is! And for the sake of easy comparison, here's the parents in smaller photo size; The flower of P. AnPa D; Here's the leaves and rosette of P. AnPa D. Notice the dark reddish "cherry" tint; Next, introducing P. macrophylla; Leaves and rosette of P. macrophylla; And last but not least, The leaves, flowers and rosette of the hybrid! The "cherry" tint to the leaves is passed from the P. AnPa D parent. Also, both parental traits are clearly visable in the hybrid's flower and leaf shape... Happy Growing, Brian.

Thanks Marcel and Dani! Dani, I have young plants growing of a P. huahuapan X P. agnata "blue flower" cross I made last year... I'm hoping the tubulate compactness of the P. agnata flower will be the main shape of the hybrid's flower. Come on, flowers!! I'm waiting... ;D Brian.

Hello Friends, Alas! Finally some definitive flower characteristics that clearly show influences from both plants involved in the hybrid cross; This flower is strongly influenced by the Pinguicula 'AnPa D' parent; And this one leans strongly towards the Pinguicula macrophyllaparent; Also, the leaves are still retaining their light cherry-tinted margins (P. AnPa D) and the extreme width of the P. macrophylla parent. Happy Growing....and Holidays to All, Brian.
