The Pingdex.

Pings are Pinguicula, also called butterworts.

Twenty identities. A world of little differences.
Explore the real plant, its story, and the code drawing we’re learning to make.

Try a little garden.

A separate practice space to plant, bloom, and try every bowl.

Early experiments

Our original leaf-shape sketches, kept as a small development archive.

View the first three studies

Butterwort is the common name; Pinguicula is the genus, in Lentibulariaceae. A species, a named hybrid, and a selected cultivar are different kinds of identity. Our descriptive nicknames are learning aids, not botanical names.

Each roll keeps its identity. Subtle leaf size, angle, and count changes are currently artistic estimates. Seasonal forms and flowers need their own verified recipes. These studies are not identification or care tools.

Our growing collection starts with 20 photo-backed pings. Each reference identifies its growth stage to help you compare.

What to look for

    Recognition cues, not an identification key. Check the real plant, its flowers, and its label together.

    When its form changes

    These are reported measurements, not a size guarantee. Leaf length measures one leaf, not the whole plant. Drawings above are not to scale. “Summer” and “winter” describe seasonal forms; indoor timing can vary.

    Good questions stay visible.

    • SC-27 · gigantea × “Summer”: a matching seller listing exists. The meaning of SC-27 and the full identity of “Summer” remain unverified. Listing
    • Solar Flare: a breeder account describes complex laueana ancestry and an unexpected peach flower. Full parentage and photo reuse rights remain unresolved. Breeder account
    • Pink Lemonade, “sp. minas,” and “Karnia Lousia”: exact identities need seller provenance or clearer labels. Visual resemblance is not confirmation.
    • Your pink ruffled and chartreuse plants: the original studies retain descriptive labels; neither has been renamed from a look-alike photograph.
