Pinguicula primuliflora, Primrose butterwort in habitat, West Central Sandhills, Marion County, Georgia

One of the best examples of classic habitat and growth habits I have observed for this species. Pinguicula primuliflora is a riparian species. Though it may be found growing away from streams, this is usually secondary to hydrology or habitat alteration and the remaining plants are able to briefly sustain in moist regions without moving water.

 

In typical habitat, as illustrated in several of these photos, plants will grow on the surface of fallen logs as long as sufficient moisture is present. At this private property site are: Pinguicula primuliflora, Drosera capillaris, Drosera intermedia, Sarracenia rubra (Ancestral/Sandhill variant), Sarracenia psittacina, Utricularia juncea, Utricularia purpurea, Utricularia gibba, and Utricularia subulata.
