This is my Ping, Pong!
The Pinguicula named Pong has been with me for a little over a month and went into flower. When it opened up there was a little man inside!!! I was SHOCKED!!
In nature there are flowers that look like faces, fairy’s, skulls, dragons, etc, but I have never seen a cute little gnome before!
Looking at other pics of Pinguicula Weser I cannot find any with little faces inside tho, or any faces in any Ping at all actually. The flowers all seem to be 5 connected petals but mine has a huge break.
So! Couple of questions:
Is this flower a unique one time occurrence?
Do the flowers from the same Ping all look the same or do they vary?
and
Does anyone else have gnomes or faces in their carnivorous flowers??? I would love to see them!

No gnomes over here, but my [U. pubescens flowers](https://www.carnivorousplants.org/sites/default/files/images/GrowingGuides/U_pubescens_fl.jpg) look like little dancing women.
Utricularia sandersonii look like little bunnies
O wow didn’t notice I’ve had it for nearly 2 months now. Don’t know how to edit posts but wanted to correct my error
