So I decided to go to my local Lowe's today...and 'lo and behold, I rescued 3 more butterworts. They all looked good so I decided I should adopt them. The one on the far left is my first rescue (from yesterday) and the next 3 are from today. As usual, I used the 1 sphagnum peat moss to 1 perlite mixture....and so far, they look all happy. You can also see my little grand-daughters all over

I think this is about at least a 12" bowl which has a nice depth to it too.

If these pings are nice enough, they might end up having some step sisters (VFTs)...lol...

Here are some upclose shots of my daughters: (I know they need sunshine but we haven't had any for the past 2 days...but we will have sunshine here soon..plenty of it! And according to some people here in the forum, it is a Pinguicula primuliflora )

Daughter one adopted 03/20/11:

Daughter two adopted on 03/21/11:

Daughter three adopted on 03/21/11 also:

Daughter four also adopted on 03/21/11: (The flower fell off on this one)

Yeah...my local Lowe's here have been pretty good as far as getting some shipment of the CPs. Maybe it just depends on the location.

Yeah nice plants! That looks very much like a pinguicula primiflora thats deprived off light.
But I bet you'll take great care of it and raise it back to great health.

Oh I am!

Once tomorrow hits, it will get its first introduction to the non-direct light of the sun

Well then good luck with them. Just remember they will slowly recover.

I already saw some leaves turn the other way around so I am very happy with it

Slowly but surely.

Well, if the leaves are going the right shape, then it's happy
