About Pinguicula agnata Casper

Pinguicula agnata Casper is a carnivorous plant species. Its flowers are blue-violet, and large white to purple blooms appear late in spring. It has sticky succulent leaves, which are lined with stiff bristles that capture unsuspecting prey on contact, and these succulent leaves store moisture to sustain the plant through the dry season.
