this plant was given to me as Heliamphora heterodoxa....
someone on facebook raised the hybrid flag, saying that it resembles H. heterodoxa x ionasii.
the pitcher in the photo is its first ever adult pitcher.
any thoughts?
and for the heck of it, i'll throw in a pic of purpurescens.
Well, it doesn't really look like a pure heterodoxa to me. Not the foggiest idea of what it could be though. I largely ignore Heliamphora hybrids. Nice plant though.
i normally do too, but this one looks like a keeper that i will tolerate in my collection. it colors up beautifully. plus it carries some sentimental value.
It appears either to be a variant of Heliamphora heterodoxa (and there are a helluva lot, having grown them from seed); that, or H. heterodoxa x ionasii, which resembles some of the many variants.
I'm color deficient, which makes IDing Helis nearly impossible without a guide in front of me. I like knowing what I have incase I feel like propagating it and trading it, so then I'm not responsible for a plant with the wrong name floating around.
