Pinguicula ‘Huahuapan’ is a Mexican butterwort synonymous with P. moranensis. It is set apart by its lovely purple flower and was registered as a cultivar in 1998. P. ‘Huahuapan’ is named after the location from which it was originally collected in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Just purchased this, and a lovely Pirouette. Unfortunately there was a delay in shipping (fault of the shipping company, not Curious Plant) but even with the extra day in transit, they both came in wonderful condition. Super delighted and when I reached out with some questions? I had a wonderful experience, Elizabeth was really helpful and informative! The Huahuapan is such a delightful color of green and was packaged beautifully.
