Howdy everyone!

A CP grower in the area was moving recently and gave me a Ping but he wasn’t sure or could not remember what it’s called. Could you guys help me out? I am NOT well versed with pings at all.

Also, there are these odd flower stalk like growths coming from the soil - any idea what it might be? Thanks!

Many pings are difficult to ID when they aren't blooming. It could be a vulgaris like ChefDean said; it might be a caerulea or lutea. The only want to know for sure is to wait for a flower.

The little flower stalks coming from the soil belong to an Ultricularia species (terrestrial bladderwort, also carnivorous). Like the ping, it's difficult to say what species until the flowers open.
