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. Received this little plant in late September 2020. This variety of moranensis seems to be something else, with slightly oblong leaves that tint red and flowers that have much longer lobes. This variety has been hard to find for me, as the only place that seems to stock it regularly is Best Carnivorous Plants in the Czech Republic, where they label it as "Japanese strain". I was lucky enough to snag a small plant from another grower. Currently potted in peat, perlite, and vermiculite. Perhaps it's a new species or natural hybrid.
