This ping really is the largest in my collection. The packaging of the plant was very safe and secure inside a deli cup. The root ball was easy to plant. My plant appears very healthy and I no doubt have developed “Ping Fever”!

I love my Pinguicula gigantea! It was carefully packed and arrived quickly, healthy and undamaged. I bought the small size which the website described as being about one inch in diameter but the plant that I received was actually at least 2 inches in diameter! Before I placed my order, I had a question and Elizabeth, the co-owner, responded quickly and was able to accommodate my request. Because of their large wonderful selection of carnivorous plants and great customer service, I plan to order all of my future carnivorous plants from Curious Plant.
