I continue my reports with the first butterwort blooming during spring in France, Pinguicula alpina.
Here are some pics showing variations in the yellow spots, depending on the stations they grow.

Station 1: a single yellow spot:



Station 2: the yellow spot is extending in two lines in direction of the medium lobe corners:



Station 3: just starting to bloom:



Station 4: a wide yellow spot in the middle and two points in the corners of the central lobe:




Station 5: the big spot is connected to two other points by two lines:



Station 6: a single big yellow spot:


Station 7: a single spot and the corolla lobes are very undulated:

And me climbing up cliffs where Pinguicula alpina lives (here in the Vercors massif, France):


As you can see, there are many variations in the shape of the yellow drawings.

But, there is not a single yellow spot shape per station, there are two or three and one is dominant among the others. In addition, but I have to check that next year, teh yellow drawing seems to evolve with the age of the flower and every 'forms' of Pinguicula alpina, bearing distinct spot shapes seems to bloom at different moments.

Hope you enjoyed

Hi Aymeric,

I loved this place ... ... a lot of rocks!

My best regards.

Carlos.

Great!
You have a real dominant and recessive case in your hands.
Congratulations. Great photos.
