Hi Nigel and other CP-lovers,
One of my Pinguicula gypsicola plants also go into dormant. It doesn't
produce carnivorous leaves, but many tiny, small leaves, very close to
each other. I don't give water to this plant, because it will rot and
die finally. Last summer he produced many flowers so he might not have
the 'energy' to produce new leaves.
Good growing
