P. medusina pics...

[Brian Barnes]

Hello Friends,

Here's a few shots of some of my adult Pinguicula medusina plants. Here in Fl., they really do seem to despise the constant humidity and tropical conditions but seem to do best when cooler weather/Fall arrives...

Dormancy proved to be slightly tricky and an absolute dry period is a must, for at least 3 months in my conditions.

Enjoy and Happy Growing,

Brian.

Thanks, Jeff!

My plants sent up two spikes a few months back, but for some reason....aborted the flowers.

I'm beginning to think that a little gypsum in the soil may be needed for this species to flower. I'm curious to see what your do! ;D
