Slimy leaves of Pinguicula (moranensis?) attract and trap insects – see the forward facing leaf with a blackfly stack to it (October picture). Notice the size difference between winter leaves (1 and 2nd picture) and current leaves (bottom picture).
Flowered from October to March with a sweet scent.
This is the same pot as in pictures above, but the old big leaves dried out (causing me a bit of anxiety). Within a month of tearing and sticking into soil two bottom, smaller, summer leaves a new plant is growing from the bottom of the former leaf (top left corner, 3d picture). I can see roots sticking out of leaves on the mother plant. What’s not to love?
The ease of propagating certain carnivorous plants is comparable only with succulents. Put Pinguicula leaves into a plastic bag, keep under fluorescent lights. 2,5 month later get little plants.
