Pinguicula 'Riva' is a beautiful cultivar created and registered by Mark Rubnitz. This cultivar is undetermined, but it appears to be a cross between (Pinguicula agnata "scented flower" x P. gigantea) x (P. gigantea x P. emarginata). This cultivar germinated in late 2013 and was registered in 2018 as Pinguicula 'Riva' for Riva Rubnitz, Mark's mother. One unique characteristic of P. 'Riva' is its beautiful white flower with a bright yellow center which is surrounded by a purple ring, the plant also turns from pale green to burgundy under intense lights.
