Pinguicula cyclosecta ‘Dulces Nombres, Nuevo León’ is a Mexican Butterwort named after the location from which it was originally collected. P. cyclosecta was first collected in the 1930’s and was formally described in 1963. When grown under intense light, it is easily recognized by its beautiful bluish-green and violet colored leaves. Please note: Some plants may be greener on arrival but will turn more purple with time under intense light.
