Or so I think. I was just checking the substrate for my tequila and noticed what looks kind of like a very small flower stalk. I will post pictures when my camera's batteries charge. Can anyone post pictures of a heliamphora flower stalk in early development so I can compare mine to the picture?
I can't find any pics, but when my hetero x minor flowered, the stalk came out of one of the pitcher creases, just as a new pitcher would, but it was stalk shaped instead of pitcher shaped. It was pretty obvious that it was a flower stalk. I hope that made sense.
Yea that kind of helps, it looks like what you described, it has a stalk like 2cm high and has a weird pitcher shaped tip. How long did it take to get to full height and flower?
Not just starting... but maybe can help, it did come in like a pitcher though.
Guess I should do some research and see if I can do anything to get seed from one plant.

Mine took a couple of months to get to full height and bloom the first time. After I improved the conditions, it only took a few weeks for the second one. Good luck with yours, Heli!
Thanks but Butch just told me it probably wont mature because of the recent transplant and division. Can someone tell me what the brown spots on the pitcher to the left of the pic is?
It is an old pitcher so I assume its just the pitcher dieing.
