Pinguicula rectifolia x moranensis var. alba is Mexican butterwort hybrid notable for its beautiful purple and white flowers. The leaves remain fairly green even under intense light although they can occasionally develop a slight blush. This particular cross of P. rectifolia x moranensis var. alba was originally bred by a friend and fellow grower.
