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!

    My Gina arrived nicely wrapped and the soil was still moist. It is a fast grower and is doing very well for me.

    Nice addition to my office at work

    Plant arrived in very good shape. It is now growing nicely on my desk at work, along with a Pinguicula x Aphrodite, a Cape sundew, and a Spoon-leaf sundew. My own personal savage garden. All four plants were from Sarracenia Northwest.

    Pinguicula x Gina

    I normally love the packaging, this time the plant was attached to the tape. Even though I was very slow and careful while unwrapping, it came out from the pot with the tape. I carefully reinserted it, and so far it seems fine. New leaves have opened, it is thriving with the other beauties I have. all my previous purchases are happy and growing, giving me great pleasure. thank you.

    It eats the bugs

    In Texas small flying insects are a constant whenever you have plants. These were a suggestion from a fellow who keeps a greenhouse full of carnivorous plants to use inside the house he was not wrong. Good houseplant indeed
