Pinguicula elhersiae
The cutest little ping! Packaging was excellent. Highly recommend!

The pointed ends on each leaf add another level of elegance. Like most Mexican butterworts, it will goes dormant in winter for 2-3 months as a way to deal with the dry season. When the rains return and daylight hours increase, it resumes normal growth.

PINGUICULA ELHERSIAE - a beautiful pink
A very beautiful miniature butterwort! I got this in the late fall and it was shipped in excellent condition from Sarracenia NW! It's in the dormant stage currently, but is still quite colorful. The only issue I had was the amount of planting medium being above the top of the shipping pot and I had a lot of runoff when watered. Not a huge problem though and I'm very pleased with the Elhersiae in my collection! Thanks SNW!

Perfect little plant
I wish I could attach pictures because it was packaged perfectly. It did become dislodged as the instructions said it may but it was easy to place back in the soil and is thriving!

Wonderful healthy plant as always!
Loyal customer. SNW will always be my #1 seller for carnivorous plants. SNW is one of the few that ship their plants potted so it's dummy proof for those who are not very good at potting up bare root pings and nepenthes! Elhersiae came healthy, pink and in a healthy winter succulent. Can't wait to see it grow during the warmer months.
