Lost the top plantlet :( But the other 3 look good! Still in succulent phase. January 2021
I received these three tiny plantlets of Pinguicula esseriana in a trade from a fellow hobbyist. They are still in the diminutive succulent phase. Hopefully they start making large rosettes of gooey leaves soon!
