With the exception of P.lusitanica I only get seed from my
Pings if I pollinate them (or something else does it for
me).

My experience with these species (apart from P.alpina which
I don't grow)is that I get no seed from these unless I am
out with my water colour brush. Is it possible that a
helpfull bee did the pollinating for you? I would love to
hear more about this, E-mail me directly if you like!
>Do we have a PINGUICULOPHILE subgroup?
There are a few other PINGUICULOPHILEs on the list - me
included, and a lot more in the International Pinguicula
Study Group.
