Heliamphora: A Few New Leaves . . .

Here are a few shots of some older plants with newer pitchers, a few on the younger side, and some sporting adult leaves (in the case of H. exappendiculata) for the first time.

Thanks all . . .

Heliamphora sp. "Akopan" is definitely becoming a favorite -- not only for its unusual appearance, but also for its vigorous growth. Here is another clone of mine with more slender pitchers.

Wowee those sure are some nice pitchers! They remind me of heterodoxa...

Are you getting the pseudo-lid on the sarracenioides that I see in some of the "in the wild" pictures, or do they just sort of stand straight up or lean into the pitcher a tiny bit? They're pretty either way, but I really hope they do eventually lid up.

On a couple of the plants, particularly when the pitchers age, the tip tends to bends a bit towards the mouth. In the photo, the pitcher had just opened, but H. sarracenioides doesn't really have much in the way of a nectar spoon . . .

David - on your H. ciliata on the top of the pitcher in the photo, why does it appear to have webbing and little red dots...?

Some bits of a neighboring flower had dropped junk everywhere and I was too lazy to clean it off . . .

Nice plants. My H. ciliata should be here within a few days; do you notice any particular quirks with this species?

I really want H. sp. "Akopan" after seeing yours! Very nice.

Thanks . . .

No, no quirks and relatively fast growing. Just keep the media "open" . . .
