Perfect plants!
About a month ago I received two pinguicula. The plants arrived in excellent condition with a pamphlet on how to care for them. They are both doing well and have caught a couple gnats before their transition to winter leaves. At the moment my Pinguicula Aphrodite is about to bloom!

Marciano is particularly handsome. I'm very happy to have him join my green family and would love to have more. It's exciting to have a carnivorous plant!
