I think butterwort is a pinguicula... unless you mean bladderwort. :) :D

Most certainly a ping, aka butterwort.

Bladderworts live in water. That looks like a butterwort, but it looks a bit different from the ones I've seen.

What you have there is a pinguicular. It looks like a mexican species/hybrid to me. These like to be kept quite dry during the winter. I suggest that you do a bit of interned research on mexican Pings so you can grow it well.

I would suggest getting it quite a bit more light, it will go from green to a pinkish purple if it is indeed a mexican ping.

I have grown them with the water tray method alongside my sundews... I don't ever really vary the amount of water that I keep in their trays and it has worked fine, YMMV.

When kept on the tray system do the leaves turn from carnivorous to succulent or not with your plants?

Cool plant, but it's defenitely not a drosera.
