Pings, briefly.
Ping = Pinguicula, or butterwort. A carnivorous plant whose sticky leaves catch small insects. The rosette is the leafy body; flowers grow above it on stalks. Leaf color and flower color are separate traits. [1]
Names matter. Species, hybrids, and named cultivars aren’t interchangeable. Save the full name or tag when adding a plant to the wishlist.
“Rare” needs context. Hard to buy, uncommon in the wild, and someone’s personal grail mean different things. A price or sold-out listing doesn’t settle it.
