My first heli flower

[pokie22]

Following the teachings of the great jedi master,Butchie, I am now enjoying my first heli flower, or rather my first two.

These will make for some interesting crosses.

Woohoo, congrats my young apprentice ;-P
Very nice work!

reminds me of this pic:

(not a flower in pic, but the mad scientist/dr. frankenstein heli grower analogy seems appropriate)

Beautiful plants!

There are a total of 7 flower stalks on this heli, and a possible 8th. The first 3 have emerged from their sheaths.

I do enjoy the red veining on this clone prior to the pitcher turning red

Very nice! What heliamphora is that? uncinata? exappendiculata?

 

[pokie22]

Thanks, it is H. exappendiculata (Amuri tepui) from Wistuba.

Congratulations! I love the deep red color on the pitchers.
