Pinguicula ‘Aphrodite’ is a hybrid, meaning it was created by crossing two different *Pinguicula* (Butterwort) species. Therefore, it doesn’t have a single “native region” in the traditional sense. Its parentage is:

* ***Pinguicula moranensis***: Native to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
* ***Pinguicula ehlersiae***: Native to Mexico, specifically the state of Hidalgo.

Given this parentage, the genetic lineage traces back to **Mexico and Central America**. However, *Pinguicula ‘Aphrodite’* itself is a cultivated hybrid and is **not found naturally occurring in the wild.** It’s bred by hobbyists and nurseries. While its ancestors come from Mexico, *P. ‘Aphrodite’* can be grown in cultivation almost anywhere if given the right conditions (usually a temperate climate with bright light and specific soil composition).
