Your pc's must have been AI rejects... ;-)
Seriously though, Pinguicula lutea is a yellow-flowered Butterwort (sometimes
Pings are known as Bog Violets due to the similarity in the shape of the
flower with the common violet) which I think comes from the U.S. somewhere.
These are sticky flytrap type CPs - the leaves should be covered with many
small droplets of "glue" giving it a shiny/oily appearance and maybe feel too
(hence the name Butterwort). They are, um, semi-active flytraps in that many
species can curl their leaves over prey, or at least into a spoon-shape to
prevent the nutrients from washing off the leaf surface (supposedly). This
species should be easy to grow (I've never been able to get hold of this plant
and my seeds didn't germinate). Keep it in a shallow saucer of water in the
warmer months and water less in winter and it should be fine. Pings have
very attractive flowers, and as Adrian Slack wrote, should become popular
houseplants (if they become more common in shops...).
