What is your top 3 favorite Heliamphora species?

I had the idea on another forum.

Many heli jedi are on this forum too so its a nice place to ask !

For myself:

1- heliamphora minor var pilosa auyan
2- heliamphora parva
3- heliamphora minor var minor auyan

And if i can chose another one, burgundy-black
 
For me it's simple, the hairy pits of death


1. H. pulchella
2. Any of several others: H. folliculata (unique pitcher shape & cool nectar spoon), H. nutans (spoons & inner pitcher iridescence), H. heterodoxa (spoon & classic pitcher shape) & H. minor

Yes - I know I didn't pick the rare ones - but when they're no longer rare - the ones I did choose will still be interesting ???

Its true :-)
Im also a pulchella lover, i had a hard time trying to chose only 3.
 
Folks, i just had info from andreas. There is no waiting list for h.macdonaldae, and andreas will not release it.

:-(
 
My favorites vary from time to time, but I always seem to enjoy these

Heliamphora neblinae

Very elegant, but omg a true drama queen, let humidity drop and all her pretty pitchers die back

Heliamphora parva
