Pinguicula Johanna
Pinguicula Johanna, is a striking hybrid butterwort that combines the best traits of its parent species, P. agnata and P. debbertiana. This Mexican butterwort is admired for its carnivorous properties and beautiful floral display. The plant features rosettes of sticky, glandular leaves that are green with a tendency to turn reddish-pink under strong light. These leaves are adept at trapping small insects, which the plant digests to supplement its nutrient intake. Pinguicula 'Johanna' blooms with charming purple flowers that showcase prominent central veining and a distinctive white throat, adding to its ornamental appeal. Registered as a cultivar in 2010 by Christian Weinberger, it is part of the Pinguicula Hairy Tongue Group, known for their textured leaf surfaces.
