Pinguicula moranensis is one of the most widespread and variable species in the genus. Native to the montane regions of Mexico and Central America, this butterwort thrives in seasonally dry oak-pine forests and cloud forests, where it alternates between carnivorous and succulent growth phases.

This seed-grown Pinguicula emarginata from my collection is currently in bloom! I crossed two different clones a couple years ago, resulting in several seed-grown individuals. This is the first to flower. The margins of the petals have been consistently more jagged than those of either parent.
