I looked at the leaves on this one and said to myself:
"That's a butterwort."
Then I looked at the flower and said: "No! It can't be."

My only experience with butterworts is along Alaskan tundra streams and at Liard Hot Springs in Northern B.C. on the Alcan. I never expected a flower like that from a butterwort.

I really like the colors on a Nigrohirsute Dendrobium, orange on white.
I've kept several different species and loved them all.

Thanks! The Pinguicula primulifora is a Southern USA butterwort. I think the flowers are pretty too.

If get back into Masdies, M. erinacea is on my list.
