| I bought this butterwort in a deathcube from Lowes - it was on clearance for 49 cents. I didn't know much about these, so after I got it acclimated to my yard, I put it in the bog with the pitchers. It has thrived and even just bloomed! I don't know what its chances are through the winter. We'll see.

| That may be a P. primuliflora. I had one for a while but couldn't keep it alive. Yours looks very healthy. I believe they go dormant in winter. Very nice plant. |

| That is indeed a P. primuliflora. They don't go dormant. They can be enigmatic, but seem to do well at a window sill or under artificial lighting. Mine is currently blooming:

| Nice happy plant, but I don't see any hint of rose or light purplish color. Matter-of-fact, the flowers of your ping looks quite white in all the photos from your site. I'm betting its more likely Pinguicula ionatha. But I can be wrong... and the pink color doesn't show. |

| I have had P. primuliflora bloom white and turn that light iris purple color later on in the week. I, too, thought I had an ionatha, but was disappointed. |

| Hey petiolaris... On a side note: Kinda notice all these baby sundews... How are they doing & what species if you still have them. |

| Since my photo was taken, I've got another bloom - surprising! |

| My first plant sent up 8 scapes during the fall and winter. I never had anything closely resembling that since! |

| Does the butterwort also feed on insects? From the pictures taken I can't see how they feed. |

| Yes they are carnivorous. Their leaves have dew. |

| HunterKiller: I have several pots of germinated sundews. I don't know what they are right now. My best guess is D. capillaris. |
