Pinguicula kondoi, is an easy to grow, charming, small Mexican butterwort. It has broadly flattened, pale green, leaves with slightly curled edges. It has succulent leaves year round. It has a wide range of tolerance, but prefers damp, loose, peaty soils, and open shade, with wet Summers and dry Winters. It blooms in Spring and Fall with 1-7+ bright pruple pink veined flowers.
