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!

    perfect plants, perfect packing

    once again, the packaging was a work of art. The plants arrived in great shape, and have been thriving, sending out new growth. There are already bugs stuck to the Pinguicula, and I didn't even know I had any.

    Pinguicula x Gina

    Posted by Unknown on November 1, 2014

    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!
