I saw this one vendor with their Helis at $75, not as bad, but still kind of high.
Like I mentioned earlier, simply shop overseas. A few friends and I got together and order shome Heliamphora from Wistuba last year ad they are thriving. There is no minimum order and he has an agent in the US to "Smooth" things from a USDA standpoint. Here is a partial list of what is available (some rare species are indeed on the steep side but not the hybrids) and, no, I do not work for "Jerry" . . .
