- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsDrosera prolifera is a delightful tropical sundew from the rainforests of Queensland, Australia. It is also known as the “Hen and Chicks Sundew” because, in addition to small flowers, the scapes produce tiny new plants! The latin name, prolifera, means “proliferate:” to increase rapidly in numbers or multiply. Even though a single plant may be small, we would highly recommend placing your plant in a pot that’s a good 6 inches wide so that there’s enough room for it to send out scapes and produce new plants which will, in turn, send out scapes and produce new plants. This is a great little sundew for the terrarium. It loves to be humid and moist in a mossy mix.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsNEW! An in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Professor Plum” is cyclosecta x ‘Faulisi’ #3 (of 11.) We named this plant for its luscious, plum-purple flowers with subtle, darker venation and darkening, almost blue hues and slight ruffles toward the ends of the petals. The spur is also purple while the flower throat is starkly white. The leaves have a subtle but solid midrib and plum-colored, upturned margins. When dormant, however, the leaves can turn almost solidly green. This brand-new hybrid is a sibling of “Little Pink Punk,” “Winky,” and “Doily.” We have only a couple of medium-sized plants available so get yours before they're gone!
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsNEW! An in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Little Pink Punk” is cyclosecta x ‘Faulisi’ #2 (of 11.) It produces flowers that are almost impossibly, aggressively pink with subtle, darker veins. The leaves are a vibrant, fleshy pink with slightly pointed tips. This is a feisty new hybrid that no one has yet. We have only a couple of medium-sized plants available so get yours before they're gone!
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsNEW! This is a brand-new, in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid series. We named these plants for their tendency to produce long, arcing scapes that make the flowers look like they’re shooting stars traveling across the sky. “Shooting Star” is Pinguicula emarginata x ‘Faulisi’ so the parentage is both incredible and varied: emarginata has almost sharp-looking, yet dainty little white flowers with purple venation, while the recently- registered ‘Faulisi’ has possibly the largest flower of all butterworts! ‘Faulisi’s flowers are pink and ruffled, so this strange combination of genes has produced some dramatic flowers. We're selling medium-sized plants that are beginning to produce their first flowers. And each and every "Shooting Star" is a genetically unique, seed-grown, one-of-a-kind plant!
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThis is one of Howard’s favorite butterworts. It has one of the larger flowers that are produced by butterworts, second only to perhaps ‘Faulisi.’ They are a beautiful shade of purple and the petals and overall flower are surprisingly flat-surfaced. The plant itself generally stays a lime green, exhibiting little-to-no pigmentation. These plants (including “Sumidero 1,” which we hope to have available soon) were collected in a national park, Sumidero Canyon, in the Mexican state of Chiapas, possibly by Andreas Wistubas. We have a few medium-sized plants available.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThe “Yucca Do” complex is a fun one and we’re still working on collecting all of them. There are up to 7 different plants in total (1712 through 1718) that were wild-collected in Mexico in the mid-90’s by Texas-based Yucca Do Nursery and then introduced into the Atlanta Botanic Garden library. The numbers are an abbreviation of a more complicated system. “Yucca Do 1717” is almost certainly a part of the Pinguicula esseriana complex but its exact identification is still uncertain. Under intense light, 1717’s leaves can flush into a pinky bronze color while the thick leaf edges will remain light, creating a unique, contrasting display. It seems that 1717 does need seasonal temperature and/or light fluctuations to flower.

- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsWe’re selling some small, dormant plants of this wonderful, vigorous hybrid. Both dormant and in active growth, gypsicola x agnata tends to produce beautiful pink to bronzy leaves. (I believe the agnata parent plant is actually agnata “Red Leaf” which would explain why this plant colors up so easily.) The flowers are ultraviolet with round petals and dynamic purple, white, and yellow markings and venation around the flower throat. This is a fantastic beginner butterwort.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula ‘Weser’ is a very forgiving, easy growing butterwort that’s a great beginner plant. The cross is Pinguicula ehlersiae x moranensis. The flowers are a vibrant pink with darker purple coloration where the petals meet and a stark, solitary white streak at the throat. The leaves can be an intense pink under high light or larger and green under low light. ‘Weser’ is a classic hybrid that has been around since the 1980s. I believe its name comes from a German river near where the hybridizer lived.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula ‘Titan’ is an easy growing, vigorous, and aptly-named butterwort cultivar produced by Cal State Fullerton University’s greenhouse manager Leo Song. The parentage is believed to be Pinguicula agnata x macrophylla. It produces enormous, bronzy leaves and large, round flowers on long scapes. The flowers reportedly have a fragrance but I don’t think I’ve smelled them myself, though sometimes I do forget to stop and smell the flowers. ‘Titan’ will form a tight, subterranean hibernaculum while dormant. The plants we’re offering are currently dormant, medium-sized plants that should get quite large within the next growing season. While they’re dormant they’re perfect to ship and they’ll be more accepting of new growing conditions if they’re able to wake up in them.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThis gorgeous Mesoamerican butterwort species is a little bit different than many of the other butterworts we have for sale. In the mountains of northern Central America it grows as an epiphyte, so it prefers a mix with moss and/or bark. In our experience, it also prefers to be kept more wet than many other butterworts. If grown in ideal conditions, Pinguicula mesophytica can flower all year. The flowers are vivid with a distance white stripe and round petals; the upper lobes give the flowers the appearance of having Mickey Mouse ears. A great hybridizer, mesophytica is also the pollen-parent of a couple of our favorite crosses, “Peach” and “Pastel.”
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula kondoi is a wonderful Mexican butterwort with strikingly veined white flowers and colorful, thick little leaves. There is some confusion and controversy over whether kondoi is synonymous with and should be referred to as reticulata, but for now the debate is still open and kondoi appears to be the most generally accepted name. That is also what was on the tag of the original plant that I received. We’re selling some small plants that are about the size of a quarter.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThis unique cultivar of Pinguicula laueana produces flowers that are less intensely red and slightly more faded-looking, appearing orange or salmon-colored. There also appears to be more variability between plants, perhaps because “Tangerine” comes from a California Carnivores cross between two different laueanas: red x fuschia, creating a stunning, new, genetically-unique variety of laueana. We’re offering healthy plants that are about 1 inch across while dormant so they should be good sized once they wake up.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsAnother variety of the red-flowered Pingicula laueana, the “CalCarn Red” or “California Carnivores Red” has rounder, slightly ruffled flowers compared to the flatter, more rectangular petals of the typical form of laueana. I would also say the flowers may be ever so slightly less red. I believe Alfred Lau gave California Carnivores this variety directly. We’re offering healthy plants that are about 1 inch across while dormant so they should be good sized once they wake up.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula laueana is one of those must-have plants. This is the only butterwort with a truly red flower. The leaves produce varying blushes and dark red venation. It’s also a great hybridizer that produces incredible offspring. Honestly, that this plant even exists and is in cultivation is a wonder to me. Pinguicula laueana was collected by the famous botanist Alfred Lau in 1973 and named after him in 1989. We’re offering healthy, small plants that are about 1 inch across.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsTo the best of my knowledge, this particular butterwort was collected somewhat recently by Fernando Rivadavia from around the Mexican town of Molango in the state of Hidalgo, making it quite rare in collections. It produces beautiful purple flowers with even deeper purple markings where the petals meet, but the real reason to grow this butterwort is for its leaves: they’re lanceolate-shaped with distinct, cupped margins that fade as the leaves become equally distinct petioles, the latter of which is rare amongst butterworts. The distinct petioles remind me of Pinguicula acuminata but “Molango’s actual leaves aren’t as broad. “Molango’s leaves also flush a gorgeous mottled pink with darker, purple venation but in contrast, the center or rib of the leaf remains green. From a cultivation perspective, I think it’s important to note that while in active growth, Pinguicula “Molango” likes being potted in a mossy mix that’s kept quite wet at all times. “Molango” will go extremely dormant at which time it must be kept much drier. The plants we are selling are 1-2 inches across and just starting to produce their first flowers!
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsA Brambles Botanicals-named Mexican butterwort hybrid bred by Ben Siebenaler in Portland, OR. The cross for Pinguicula “Pastel” is agnata “Red Leaf” x mesophytica #2. (We will have #1, “Peach,” available soon!) Even under intense light, Pastel’s mostly green leaves will barely produce any sort of coloration. The flowers have friendly, round lobes that are slightly lavender-colored and will fade to mostly white as the flower ages. This is a pastel even Morticia Addams could love!
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsA new, in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Doily” is cyclosecta x ‘Faulisi’ #8 (of 11.) We named it “Doily” because it produces pink, round, ruffly flowers that reminded us of the ornamental mats we would see around our grandparents’ homes; additional flower features are purple-veins and white markings close to the throat. This is an adorable new cultivar that is still very rare in collections.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsAn in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Starburst” is agnata “Red Leaf” x rectifolia (CROSS # 21065). This series produces a lot of variability in both flowers and leaves. We named this series “Starburst” because all of the flowers appear to have an explosive quality, sometimes with imperfections like Tie-dye patterns or mottling that reminded us of astronomical events unfolding— but also the candy, particularly because this series’ glistening leaves often have a pinkish hue that makes the plants look like candy. The mother plant, agnata “Red Leaf,” is known for producing blood-red leaves under high light, due to increased anthocyanin (pigmentation). The father plant, rectifolia, has dramatic, purple flowers with slight ruffles which makes for an endlessly versatile combination when mixed with agnata “Red Leaf’s rounder, whiter flower. The plants we have available are 1-2 inches across. Each plant is genetically unique, seed-grown, and one-of-a-kind!
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula gypsicola x sp "Köhres" (Koehres) is a Mexican butterwort hybrid that is essentially a less expensive and more easily grown Pinguicula gypsicola, albeit with slightly broader leaves. The plant’s father, sp "Köhres" (Koehres), is believed to be Pinguicula gypsicola x moranensis, so there’s a lot of gypsicola genes in this cross. The name "Köhres" probably originates from this German nursery of the same name, though I believe the cross came from Oliver Gluch initially. It's a fun, easy hybrid with long, thin carnivorous leaves and gypsicola-like purple flowers. Under intense light, the leaves produce purple coloration along the margins of the leaf base creating an even more visually complex plant, especially around the crown of the plant.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsNative to the Mexican state of Nuevo León, the graceful, diminutive Pinguicula gracilis is a delightful little carnivorous butterwort that loves to divide and multiply. It’s an easy grower that produces white flowers with a larger lower central lobe that also features a greenish-yellow spot near the throat. The typical gracilis’s flower stalk can reach over 2 inches tall, but this “Stalkless” variety rarely produces any visible stem, so the flowers open between the leaves of the plant itself! The plants we have available are about 1 inch across (which is adult-sized for gracilis) and capable of producing flowers.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThis rarer, slightly smaller variety of Pinguicula gigantea produces an entirely white flower that is also larger than the typical gigantea variety’s flower. In our experience, this plant is usually at its largest in the fall or winter, flowers in the winter, and then divides in the spring. Known from just one location in Oaxaca, Mexico, Pinguicula gigantea or the Giant Butterwort is the largest butterwort yet discovered. In ideal conditions, they can grow to be as wide as a dinner plate! Pinguicula gigantea is also fairly unique in that it produces carnivorous mucilage on both the surface and underside of its leaves. We have a few medium-sized plants available that are over 2 inches across.

In ideal conditions, they can grow to be as wide as a dinner plate! Pinguicula gigantea is also fairly unique in that it produces carnivorous mucilage on both the surface and underside of its leaves. It also doesn’t go dormant, so it produces sticky, carnivorous leaves all year. The flowers are a beautiful purplish that starts to fade towards white as the flowers age. Gigantea is also a fantastic hybridizer, producing pollen and seed if manually pollinated. In my experience, this plant is usually at its largest in the fall or winter, flowers in the winter, and then divides in the spring. We have several medium-sized plants available that are close to or exceeding 2 inches across.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsAn in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Bled” is agnata “True Blue” x agnata “Red Leaf” (CROSS # 21023). The name “Bled” is a blend of “Blue” and “Red” from each parent's name. Each plant from this series is a seed-grown, genetically unique, pure Pinguicula agnata from two agnata varieties on the opposite end of the spectrum from each other: agnata “True Blue” has little-to-no anthocyanin (pigmentation) so the leaves stay green, while agnata “Red Leaf” has increased levels of anthocyanin and will, under intense light, produce blood red leaves. “True Blue’s flowers are vibrantly colored in a blue-ish lavender while the flowers of “Red Leaf” are whiter, usually only featuring lavender coloration on the edges of the petals while the flower is young. So “True Blue” has amazing flowers while “Red Leaf” has amazing leaves, and many “Bleds” are already showing the best features of both parents. We're selling plants that are 1-2 inches across. If they haven't already, they will be producing their first flowers soon!
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsAn in-house Brambles Botanicals hybrid, Pinguicula “Rue” is agnata “Red Leaf” x agnata “True Blue” (CROSS # 21022). The name “Rue” is a blend of “Red” and “Blue” from each parent's name. Each plant from this series is a seed-grown, genetically unique, pure Pinguicula agnata from two agnata varieties on the opposite end of the spectrum from each other: agnata “Red Leaf” has increased levels of anthocyanin (pigmentation) and will, under intense light, produce blood-red leaves, while agnata “True Blue” has little-to-no anthocyanin so the leaves stay green. “Red Leaf’s flowers are rather white, usually only featuring lavender coloration on the edges of the petals, while “True Blue’s flowers are vibrantly colored in a blue-ish lavender. So “Red Leaf” has amazing leaves while “True Blue” has amazing flowers, and many “Rues” are already showing the best features of both parents: vibrant leaves and colorful flowers. We're selling plants that are 1-2 inches across. If they haven't already, they will be producing their first flowers soon!
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula agnata “True Blue” is an incredible variety of agnata that has vibrantly colored purple blue flowers. The leaves have little-to-no anthocyanin (pigmentation) so they stay green even under intense light. Agnata “True Blue” is also a fantastic hybridizer, producing some incredible crosses including our new series “Bled.” The plants we have available are between 1-2 inches in diameter.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsPinguicula agnata “Red Leaf” is an amazing variety of agnata that has increased levels of anthocyanin (pigmentation) and will, under intense light, produce blood-red leaves. “Red Leaf’s flowers are round and mostly white, usually only featuring lavender coloration on the edges of the petals. Agnata “Red Leaf” is also a fantastic hybridizer, producing some incredible crosses including “Rue” and “Pastel.” We are selling a few medium-sized plants that are about 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsEach Pinguicula “UFO” is a genetically unique plant grown from seed produced by a Pinguicula laueana “Tangerine” that was pollinated by an unknown butterwort or butterworts. Since this series' exact genetics are a mystery, we named them “UFO” which stands for “Unknown Flowering Organism.” Howard suspects that there is some Pinguicula ‘Faulisi’ pollen in there because some of the larger flowers that this cross has produced are also ruffly and pink. In contrast, some of the smaller flowers that we’ve seen this series produce remind us of Pinguicula ‘Seductora,’ or laueana x emarginata so some emarginata pollen may also have been introduced; both emarginata and ‘Faulisi’ were growing nearby. The plants we have available are mostly adults that are upwards of 2 inches in diameter. If they haven't already, they will be producing their first-ever flowers soon!
