Pinguicula 'Fraser' × caudata (Butterwort)
type: Product
description: Pinguicula 'Fraser' × Pinguicula caudata is a cultivated Mexican butterwort hybrid that combines the vigour and ornamental qualities of the hybrid 'Fraser' with the distinctive characteristics of Pinguicula caudata. Native Mexican butterworts are adapted to life on limestone cliffs, rocky slopes, and mineral-rich seepage zones, and this hybrid inherits many of the attractive traits that have made these species and hybrids favourites among carnivorous plant enthusiasts. Plants typically form medium-sized rosettes with a balanced growth habit and strong hybrid vigour. Like all butterworts, this hybrid captures small insects using specialised leaves covered in microscopic glands that secrete a sticky mucilage. Fungus gnats, fruit flies, and other tiny arthropods become trapped on the leaf surface, where digestive enzymes break down prey and release nutrients that are absorbed directly through the foliage. The leaves are generally bright green but may develop attractive pink, bronze, or reddish highlights under stronger light. Depending on the influence of P. caudata, the foliage may show slightly elongated leaf tips or a more open growth habit than many common hybrids. Mature plants produce elegant flowers in shades of lavender, violet, or pink-purple on slender stems held above the rosette. Like many Mexican butterwort hybrids, Pinguicula 'Fraser' × Pinguicula caudata undergoes a seasonal transition between an actively carnivorous rosette and a compact succulent rosette during cooler or drier periods. Its combination of colourful foliage, attractive flowers, and reliable growth makes it a rewarding plant for growers of all experience levels. The blend of hybrid vigour and species-specific characteristics creates a distinctive butterwort that highlights the remarkable diversity found within the genus.
