Year-round pinguiculas

The Pinguicula sp native to the Southeast US can definitely be year-round growers. Steady cold/freezing temps in winter will push them towards the small dormant rosettes similar to Mexican sp but they will happily grow all winter long in milder years and during warm spells in colder years. I've seen blooms on plants with full-sized leaves during a mild winter. My experience is with plants on the Gulf Coast in Alabama and Florida.
