Beautiful purple flowers, 11/6/2020
Purplish pink color of the leaves
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. The plant was sent to me just as “moranensis”, so I’m not exactly sure what clone it is regardless, it’s a pretty nice plant. It’s not super flashy and it hasn’t flowered for me yet, but like all moranensis it’s easy growing and relatively nice sized. The flower in the picture of this plant was a nice, dark purple and ruffled. Time will tell to see how this plant will do :)
