    A wonderful hybrid between Pinguicula gigantea and Pinguicula moctezumae, this is a very easy plant to grow and does an especially good job of controlling pesky fungus gnats among houseplants in normal indoor settings. An added bonus is the attractive growth habit and foliage as well as the amazingly beautiful violet-like blooms.
