Primuliflora

My newly ordered Pinguiculae arrived labeled "primuliflora", though the flowers are blue and yellow. maybe i don't understand temperate pinguicula flower coloration? Though Primuliflora flowers were yellow and white.

Pinguicula Moctezumae Bears Seed

After about a month and a half since pollenation, my moctezumae has produced in excess of 100 seeds. I separated the stalk from the plant after it reached full size so that i could gather  the seed safely. it matured sitting the the stem in moss, and finally opened today. We'll see if removing the stalk from the plant affected seed viability.
