Exciting flowers continued

This is the Pinguicula Grandiflora, and it was the first time I had seen this insectivorous plant in real life. It is quite small, just a little bigger than a common violet. It catches insects on its leaves, which are sticky with a substance that both traps and digests the prey. It lives in damp rocky places.
