- 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.
- Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsKnown 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. 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!
