The unique shape of the flowers
Pinguicula moranensis is one of the most common species of Pings in cultivation, with dozens of forms and locations. It's name is derived from it's type location, Mina de Moran in the Hidalgo region of Mexico. The most well known and widely distributed member of section Orcheosanthus, which are most notably characterized by a very long spur that is longer than the corolla tube. This location was obtained from the Czech Nursery Best Carnivorous Plants. The flowers on this location have extremely long corolla lobes, and the entire flower is a vibrant bright blink with a white splotch near the center. Leaves on this plant are those of typical moranensis, slightly tinging pink and barely upturned margins. It doesn't seem to grow too large, but it's unknown whether this is due to my conditions, age of the plant, or genetics.
