Are the orbs still what they were, or have they developed into flowers
already? For ID of _Pinguicula_ spp., flowers are necessary. Try to
measure the length of the spur (backward pointing appendage to the
corolla lower lip) and the dimension and relative positions of the
corolla (coloured flower parts) lobes.

Kind regards
