	Pinguicula, Carnivorous Plants Online - Botanical Society of America
		Pinguicula lutea occurs in sunny, open, wet areas throughout the southeastern U.S. Although butterworts have leaves and therefore trapping mechanisms that look nothing like those of the bladderworts (Utricularia), the two belong to the same family (Lentibulariaceae).
		The furry lump on the lower side of the throat evidently is a signal to a bee that it is on its way toward nectar, and tells it which is the lower side of the flower.
		In flowers pollinated by butterflies, stamens and stigmas tend to be at the throat of a flower, so that the pollen transfer can occur on a butterfly's head at the same time that the butterfly reaches its long tongue into the narrow part of a flower, at the bottom of which lies nectar.

		It is a nice compact form of Pinguicula that will form a somewhat tight rosette of rounded leaves that are placed with nice symmetry.

	Easy Carnivores - Pinguicula
		Pinguicula's are yet another USA group of plants that reach from the Andes to as far north as the Arctic regions.
		This 'greasiness' is caused by the thousands of tiny glands on the surface of each leaf, each gland secretes a globule of glue like substance which feels greasy to the touch and is what traps insects.
		Pinguicula's are essentially living flypapers and once an insect lands on the leaf and begins struggling the plant releases more of the sticky substance and the insect makes things worse for itself.

	Growing the Pinguicula (Butterworts). (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Pinguicula are also known as 'butterworts', these plants have most of the same traits and growth requirements of sundews so you can follow the same directions.
		Planting Instructions: Pinguicula will have very shallow root systems, which are very fragile.
		Do not attempt to clean soil away from the roots, rather just filll your pot with appropriate soil mixture, wet the mixture, then make a shallow impression for the root system to set down into.

	Pinguicula Main Page
		Pinguicula's are similar to Sundews but rather than have hairs with sticky tips the Pinguicula produce micro fine sticky droplets on its broad flat leaves much like flypaper and collects very small insects like on its surface.
		Pinguicula's are also well noted for their large long lasting flowers that come on the plant at almost any time of the year.
		Pinguicula's are a shade loving plant from cooler climates and are relatively easy to care for and multiply.

		DESCRIPTION: These hardy and tender perennials, commonly known as Bog Violets or Butterworts, are natives of the Northern Hemisphere and the Andes of America to the Antarctic regions.
		The name Pinguicula is derived from pinguis, fat, and refers to the greasy feel of the plants, thus the common name Butterwort.
		Tiny glands on the surface of the leaves secrete droplets of sticky fluid, which captures insects.

		These droplets are sticky and are responsible for trapping insects which are then slowly digested into a nutrient-rich soup which the plant then absorbs.
		Perhaps it is true to say that the carnivorous nature of Pinguicula is not the main reason why the species is so sought after.
		It is a hybrid of two plants, one of which is Pinguicula moranensis, which characteristics are described here.

		We hope that Pinguicula ‘Aphrodite’ will find a place in many collections of carnivorous plants as an adornment at least, just as Aphrodite was the gem of the Greek goddesses on Mount Olympus.

		They can be found in peat bogs, on alkaline rocky cliffs, hanging off trees, near cacti or patches in the Artic.
		The name Pinguicula means "little greasy one", and this perfectly matches the consistency of its leaves.
