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.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch across carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive a little over one cup of our prepackaged Mexican Butterwort Potting Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.

I received a very healthy plant with a bloom on it. First time I ever have one of these in my home, I was scared but since the plant was healthy it seemed to have settled nicely. Ive had it for a month now and it finally seems to be able to catch its own food. Its also going to bloom very soon for me, first time in my care. It lives in a south east facing window and it loves it there very much.
