Identifying a Long-Term Butterwort as Pinguicula moranensis

Butterwort

Question: I've grown this butterwort for years, lost the name. Suspect P. moranensis. Can you ID from photo?

Answer: Yes, it's Pinguicula moranensis (leaf shape and flower). It's vigorous and produces many plantlets. One customer turned a single plant into a nursery business in five years!

Happy growing!
