This is the true 'Wesser', it has a smaller and much brighter pink flower than the fake form in circulation. In the winter,
temperatures in the greenhouse dropped to -5degC. I lost some of the smaller plants of 'Wesser', but the larger plants survived. A seedling raised by Harold Weiner in Hameln in 1981. Registered by Adrian Slack, his description in Insect Eating Plants says: "Of these (hybrids) I would mention Pinguicula ' Sethos ' Hort.Slack (Pinguicula moranensis H.B.K. x Pinguicula ehlersiae Speta & Fuchs), a fine, very floriferous clone with large orchid-purple flowers with a many-rayed mouth like a white star; Pinguicula ' Weser ' Hort.Slack, of the same parentage and with rather simiar flowers, has a solitary white streak down the central lower lobe and dark veins." |
