Hey, pinguicula primuliflora

Very nice new growth.

I'm sure you already know this, but keep the soil just barely damp; these are prone to root rot even moreso than flytraps.

The pings they sell at Lowe's in the clear plastic "cube" containers (which we lovingly refer to as death cubes) are generally primuliflora.

Interesting. The Lowes's near me have the death cubes, and all the Home Depots have death "cylinders". Did yours come in a cube or a cylinder?

I've seen reference to butterwort a lot here on this site, but it seems to just be a bunch of green leaves...I guess this is a stupid question, but are this a carnivorous plant, and if not..do they do anything exciting like vfts? lol

Yes, Butterworts are carnivorous, but not as exciting as VFTs (in my opinion) because they don't move. They are similar to sundews in that they act like flypaper.

Bugs are stuck right when their legs hit the leaf. The mexican butterwort is my favorite type of carnivorous plant.

Doesn't the sundew close up around the insect once it hits the dew on the leaves? I read somewhere that the long, string-like sundew.. (sorry I'm not good with classification names) closes around the trapped insect...
