If so, why?

I'm personally growing fond of mexican pinguicula these days. I love how delicate they look shimmering in the sun... and how deadly they are to fruit flies in the summer.

I love Drosera for their proliferation and how many species are in the genus (gotta catch 'em all). I also think the dew is very pretty

I second that. Drosera first, Mexican Pings second (for me anyways) love the way they shimmer too!

Same here,there are many reason to like Mexican Pinguicula,I will write few of them.
1)First and main reason I like them is because of their beautiful pink shade.(most of the variety)
2)Easy to grow and propagate.
3)Less demanding,so we can experiment it in different medias.
4)Flowers most of the time when healthy.
5)Can fit in tiny pots and goes in succulent phase if we forget to water.

I think these are enough reasons to like Mexican Pinguiculas.I guess Grey can add a lot of points here.

Pinguicula definitely, they are from all over the world (I really like the temperate kinds). Amazes how one species in the genus can be growing in gypsum hills in Mexico, while another is growing on the snowy mountains of France.

Neps and helis......cephs are pretty good too.
But right now I have a bunch of Cobras and sarrs

Gotta vote for Drosera myself.

Good growing,
Mike

Why are the leaves purple?

My vote goes to Drosera. I like the symmetry of the rosettes. And it's amazing how widespread and varied they are. Most are red and that's my favorite color too.

Between Sarracenia and Utricularia

My favorite genus is the one I'm looking at the time

Genlisea for me! (And Utricularia as a runner-up :p).
The traps look so unique, and their little rosettes are pretty cute.
