Heliamphora idontknowwhatitisanymorensis.....

[amphirion]

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.

It's H. sendittoLilforfurtheranalysisensis.

Good luck IDing it, really, it's lovely.

 

[amphirion]

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.

Enjoy my slacker, non-committal answer, Jon . . .

 

[amphirion]

hahaha. i guess i will call it a heterodoxa.....for now.....

This is why I avoid Heli hybrids at all costs. I can barely tell some of the species apart, so hybrids make it even more confusing.

 

[mylesG]

eh, why avoid them? i dont see a need to know a plant's ID to enjoy growing it.

 

[thez_yo]

There you go claiming heli 'species' actually look different, again...

 

[Wire Man]

eh, why avoid them? i dont see a need to know a plant's ID to enjoy growing it.

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.

 

[mylesG]

ah i see. but if you have an unknown heli, you trade it as an unknown heli. simple enough

i cant ID helis and i am not color deficient lol. but sure do love them
