Pinguicula laueana “Red” x ehlersiae “Mighty Mouse” small bare root
This is our first in house carnivorous plant hybrid we have offered for sale! With its dewy leaves, compact size, and cheerful blush, it’s the perfect kitchen windowsill companion. Turn fruit flies into flowers with ping power! It is a cross between two excellent plants: Pinguicula laueana “Red” and Pinguicula ehlersiae “Mighty Mouse.” P. laueana “Red” has red tinted pointed leaves and large cherry red blooms, and P. ehlersiae “Mighty Mouse” is an especially large specimen for the species, with pinkish leaves and white-throated bubblegum pink flowers that resemble a mouse’s face. Their seed grown offspring show a small amount of variability, but most have pinkish tinted leaves with inward rolled margins. Our plants just reached maturity in late 2025, and we are excitedly awaiting their first bloom! We are expecting some electric pink, mousy flowers! Plants are SMALL in size, and ship BARE ROOT. At maturity, compared to other pings, they will be on the compact side of medium. You will get a plant very similar to the one pictured in the product image, except younger and smaller. It will grow to mature size in about a year if cared for well (see plant care).

Pinguicula x laueana “Red” x sp. Tonala “ANPA A” med bare root
This plant has bloomed every year, with multiple large flowers, since we got it in 2022! This hybrid Pinguicula combines the vibrant colors of laueana “Red” with the striking center markings of sp. tonala “ANPA A.” It is hard to properly capture this shade of purple on a camera. It is very warm in tone, almost electric or even neon. The dark spots at the center are more subtle here than they are on the cream background of “ANPA A”, but they draw the eye. The leaves are bright lime green, with purple bases and a very thin red outline when grown under high light. It is easy to propagate from pullings. This one is a real performer perfect for your plant collection!
