Hello Friends, I figured I'd snap a few photos of some of my best Heliamphora from my collection. The soft early morning light added a misty, "tepui" feel to everything. I hope you enjoy them! Happy Growing, Brian. Let's start with a bunch of common hybrids....   And now...the enchanting H. folliculata;     And looking like a hooded druid of sorts, H. sarraceniodes;    |

Beautiful plants Brian!
The sarracenioides is lovely.
What is the location of your H. folliculata?
Truly,
François.

Thanks everyone...  Fred, I'm still cursed with the "early riser's syndrome" from getting up at 5 am for work for many years. Sleeping in late for me means staying in bed until 7 am! ;D Socky, My H. folliculata comes from Kamakaiwaran tepui and seems to favor lowland conditions. See the flower bract peeking out in the 4th and 5th pic? Have you any success pollinating this species? Jeff, For the hybrids, the tallest pitcher is 20 cm. For H. folliculata, it's 22 cm. For H. sarraceniodes, it's 13 cm. All plants are almost two years old, except the biggest hybrid, which is around three. Happy Growing, Brian. |

Brian
I ask you for the height and the age because for a certain time it seems to me that the heliam that we buys are reached of nanism.
are you sure that it is a flower bract ? not an others pitcher ?
tepui KAMARKAIWARAN with a height of 2100-2700m it is not what one calls a small tepui ;D .
tell us your lowland and hightland cultivate condition ( temperature-hygrometry -etc)?
what substrat ?

Hi Brian,
i´ve been in big stress with my dissertation and in fact of this i´ve had almost no free time but this will change soon.
Most of my plants have survived this time without bigger problems (my Heliamphora have had a few probems and some of my hirtella-complex Drosera species).
Additionally i´ve worked on Drosera crossings but not all of them have germinated. Perhaps i can soon report about a few of them.
Best regards,
Dani

Hi Dani, Excellent! Best of luck with everything, including your hybrids. I can't wait to see them! Soon, I'll be able to post some pics of several happy D. tomentosa and D. graomogolensis adults.... Happy Growing, Brian. |
