Have placed Pinguicula or butterwort outdoors to feed on some gnats.


Very useful indoors too:

a succulent carnivorous plant

I love pings. I have P. gigantea, P. primuliflora and P. moctezumae. I always keep them parked next to my cactus

One of my pinguiculas has started to bloom

nice

What a sweet little plant!

Just noticed this bloom of my little Ping is still doing okay, quite a long bloom time..loving it

That is a long bloom time!

Must be enjoying the company of its orchid friends

Just some photo updates of my Pings:

This one is digesting a lot of gnats..leaves elongating and looks quite happy!


This is the one that bloomed awhile ago, blooms gone now, and I have given it some stepped up watering during the recent heat wave, survived it well:


This other one is a little slow in the digestion side, but still growing okay:

Tarev, am I understanding this right these pants eat gnats...

Yup! They are carnivorous plants, gnats get attracted to the leaves, not knowing they will stick there and be digested/absorbed by the leaves.

My kind of plant!!!

Ok, stop it guys, I don't need to be hooked on another plant now. But I do like the idea!

This plant addiction...I mean "collection" is very contagious!

You don't want not to get one..right Stush?

Ok, ok, I'm going to look them up and read about them. Thats all. Really, I can handle this.
