Great Plant
Very healthy plant. Good size. Very happy with all my purchases. Wished that a wider variety was available during the winter months.
This is one of the most beautiful butterworts we've encountered. It has a tight rosette of large, broad green leaves. The leaves are very sticky and captures lots of gnats, mosquitoes, and fruit flies. The plant can grow up to 5 inches across. It also looks like a flower until you see it produce an actual flower. It's like a flower within a flower. Butterwortception!

Pinguicula x Gina
I've had my plant for a few months now and it is beautiful! I grow it on a south facing windowsill, and it grows very quickly and catches a gnat every once in a while. It also grew a flower stalk and produced stunning flowers!

Very Pleased
I purchased one of these back in April 2014. It arrived in very good condition. Catches lots of gnats for me which is great. This plant keeps producing new leaves rapidly. Just this morning I already noticed a flower stalk in the making deep within the center of the plant!
