Pinguicula gigantea
$19.95
This is one of the most beautiful butterworts we've encountered. It has a tight rosette of large, broad green leaves. The leaves are very sticky and captures lots of gnats, mosquitoes, and fruit flies. The plant can grow up to 5 inches across. It also looks like a flower until you see it produce an actual flower. It's like a flower within a flower. Butterwortception!

Happy Plants
I am very pleased with my new plant babies! These guys went above and beyond making sure they were packaged securely and able to arrive in a healthy, beautiful condition. So far they are thriving and looking good! I highly recommend and will be purchasing from them again ?

Twins! Two Gina plants for the price of one!
Thanks to the careful packing , the plants arrived in great shape in spite of a VERY beat up box. The plants were shipped potted. No guessing on what soil to use or when to pot them up. Detailed instructions were included. Great company!

Arrived perfect as usual! ?
I'm SO HAPPY I finally have my hands on a Ping Gina. I've been eyeing this ping for a few years now since it was introduced for sale. It arrived robust and very healthy with not a spec of soil disturbed. I LOVE how SNW uniquely packages their plants. It provides the best protection and I find out easier to unpack their carns vs. other sellers. And the best part is that it was shipped POTTED which is very hard to come by when buying carnivorous plants. I can't wait to see how big it gets. It's already caught so many fungus gnats.
