Carnivorous Plants: Pinguicula
Source: Butterworts
Pinguiculas, commonly called as butterworts, are carnivorous plants similar to drosera in that they produce dewy, sticky leaves to capture prey. These plants are known most for their bright, colorful blooms. Though the flowers usually last for a short period of time, they are often electric, beautiful shades of purple while they exist.

Like other carnivorous plants, pinguiculas live through two seasons. In their carnivorous season, the plants’ leaves grow sticky and dewy to catch prey. When the plants enter their winter season they grow quite dormant, similar to a succulent, and do not produce the sticky enzymes.
