Loyd,

thank you for your information. The situation you described is the =
situation I kind of expected. However, I just can't resist to order =
unidentified plants. The pussle of finding out what they might be is a =
interesting part of the hobby, but to correctly identify pants one needs =
a key for determination. Are there any "post Casper" keys for the =
identification of Pinguiculas (or any work in progress)?=20

What "particle" size do you use of the different ingredients . Up here I =
have not been able to obtain vermiculite and the perlite available has a =
size of 3-7 mm, which I find a bit large. I grow P. colimensis in this =
pure perlite - they do not grow exceptionally well, but they do at least =
not die.
