Sorry Nep. gracilis, but I couldn't reply your message.
So I'll write here :
My Heliamphora minor x heterodoxa has pitchers at about 8" and is flowering at the moment.
I have an older picture of it (see below)
The right pitcher on the picture has been grown under not the brightest possible conditions !
Note the elongeated pitcher and the reduced or even absent "lid" !
In my opinion Heliamphora ONLY grows under the brightest light which is possible (without warming up the plant too much)
Look at the natural habitat in Venezuela where the plant are growing under "tropical sun" with an extremly high amount of ultraviolet radiation because of the high altitude.
