- Sale! 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. We would also say the flowers may be ever so slightly less red. It is believed that Alfred Lau gave California Carnivores this variety directly. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this a beginner level plant.
- Sale! 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. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this a beginner level plant.
- Sale! 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 we received. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this an intermediate level plant.
- Sale! 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.” The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this an intermediate level plant.
- Sale! 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 we don’t think we’ve smelled them yet. ‘Titan’ will form a tight, subterranean hibernaculum while dormant. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in dimeter. 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. We would consider this a beginner-intermediate level plant.
- Sale! 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. We believe its name comes from a German river near where the hybridizer lived. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this a beginner level plant.
- Sale! 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 1713” is almost certainly a part of the Pinguicula esseriana complex but its exact identification is still uncertain. Under intense light, 1713’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 1713 does need seasonal temperature and/or light fluctuations to flower. The plant you will receive will be about 1" in diameter. We would consider this an intermediate level plant.

- Sale! 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. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this an intermediate level plant.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThis is a 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. And each and every "Shooting Star" is a genetically unique, seed-grown, one-of-a-kind plant! The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this to be a beginner-intermediate level plant.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsAn 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. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this an intermediate-advanced level plant.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsAn 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. The plant you will receive will be between 1"-1.5" in diameter. We would consider this to be an intermediate-advanced level plant.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsRecently registered and featured in the International Carnivorous Plant Society’s September 2022 issue by Howard Bramble, pinguicula ‘Faulisi’ is definitely a collector’s plant. We recommend reading the article on the ICPS website for the story. The plant you will receive will be between 1”-1.5” in diameter. ‘Faulisi’ has by far one of the biggest pinguicula flowers, with a beautiful ruffle to its oversized, hot pink lobes and a contrasting white throat. It is also known to be a great breeder and gives a fair bit of pollen. The plant itself has a stunning rosette of flat, tongue-like leaves with a purple margin to its otherwise bright green foliage, that colors more intensely under high light. This plant typically likes a more mossy mixture in its soil, but will rot if waterlogged for long. We would consider this to be an advanced level plant.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsA Bramble’s Botanical’s-named hybrid, pinguicula “Fairy Star'' is the cross of pinguicula moranensis 'Huahuapan' x pinguicula esseriana Clone A. The plant you will receive will be between 1”-1.5” in diameter. The pointed shape of its leaves and the way they make up a beautiful, geometric-like pattern gave it the name. The leaves stay generally a bright green hue with a slight curl to the tips that give it that star-like pattern. The flower itself is a soft lilac color that features deeper purple venation from the center, and a pale yellow throat. We would consider this to be a beginner level plant.
- Sale! Sold By: Brambles BotanicalsThe origins of pinguicula “Jerry P.” are unknown, and seems to be a mystery around most forums. However, it is still a beautiful plant that propagates relatively easily by leaf pullings. The plant you will receive will be between 1.5”-2” in diameter. The leaves of the plant, when mature, are long and slender with a rounded end; giving the plant an almost chrysanthemum appearance with its shape. It colors up a soft, blush pink with the center staying more green even under high light. We would consider this to be a beginner-intermediate level plant
