Has the rabbit died? (heli pollination)

[Av8tor1]

The flower on the far right was not pollinated (control), the other two were. Of those two , the middle was pollinated first

I should have documented better but guessing 4 weeks on the center flower, two weeks on the left

Still early I guess, but....

The middle flower was pollinated using the pollen from the one of the right. The left was pollinated with a mixture of pollen from both the right and center flowers (just to increase my odds)

thoughts?

Congrats. The two on the left definately look like they will produce some seed.

Yess congrats Av, they look very promising. Who are the parents?

One parent
H. tatei var. tatei (Cerro Duida)

Don't count your chickens before they hatch

I've seen the pods swell up on Sarracenia and Drosera and after drying them out and cracking them open to find a whole lot of nothing.

Av8or1, I must say, you are the best!
I might try to cross my pulchella with my tequila if I get the chance.
The pulchella is running a little behind the tequlia.

Congratulations!

I was out of town for the last Heliamphora blooms but am hoping that the "naughty bits" of my Heliamphora pulchella and H. heterodoxa x ionasii are ready for action . . .

It definitely looks like the pollination was successful! Well done Butch. I hope that you get some seed!
