Pinguicula Aphrodite is a Mexican butterwort hybrid (Pinguicula agnata × Pinguicula moctezumae), known for its graceful rosettes of long, arching leaves and beautiful flowers. And when you look at it, you immediately understand why it is named after the Greek goddess of beauty. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--en--\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--en--\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it special\u003c\/strong\u003e? The strap-like leaves are pointed, slightly curled at the edges, and look succulent-like. This is not a typical compact Pinguicula plant; it is a plant with long, elegant leaves that distinguish it from other Pinguicula species. And then the flowers. Aphrodite blooms almost all year round, sending out multiple flowers that open deep purple and slowly fade to soft pink. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--en--\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summer, the plant produces larger, carnivorous leaves; in winter, it shifts to slightly smaller growth. This is a Mexican Pinguicula that remains active all year round, requiring no winter dormancy; your plant simply continues to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--en--\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--en--\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003c!--en--\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c!--en--\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\/Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compact, about 7-12cm spread when mature.
