I was rewarded with a magnificent pitcher this week... I've had this plant for a little over 2 years, a beautiful hamata x edwardsiana from @floraecollaborative 🌱

One of the most under rated species of Heliamphora. Upright and vigorous growth, a strong clumping habit and large flag shaped nectar spoons that ooze nectar. Heliamphora chimantensis 🌱

Why am I so into these plants?

There's many reasons but at the end of the day it's really about cultivating beauty. Their colors and their forms are just mesmerizing. 🌱

One of nature's paintings... A surreal field of venation from the "Queen of Color", heliamphora Macdonaldae. 🌱

This was my second heliamphrora I acquired and it changed the trajectory of my horticulture hobby. This vigorous, clumping pitcher plant has near spherical nectar spoons and amazing veination... heliamphora parva x pulchella ISC. 🌱

This dense grouping has a real party vibe going on right now, unfortunately that party is coming to an end later today! Time to lovingly rip apart this heliamphora heterodoxa x minor. It was good while it lasted! 🌱

Someone got a bath! Nice cluster of off-shoot pups from a mature heliamphora neblinae JN. This particular plant has a very regal and upright growth habit, over-turned lip flare and a pronounced spoon. 🌱

This gold haired heliamphora produces very large, woody and bulbous pitchers with a sprawling "gangstah lean" growth habit. This is a relatively recent division of heliamphora ionasi "Yellow Stripe". 🌱

By far one of the cutest heliamphora. Diminutive in stature, readily clumping and absolutely adorable. This little fuzzy furball is none other then heliamphora "Ewok". 🌱

This hybrid is such a fun combination of the parents; #nepenthes ampullaria x aristolochioides BE-3658

Also when I get 100 followers I'll start posting pics of my veitchii. ;)

Green spoons! Sometimes this happens for me on fresh divisions or with new pitcher growth... Still looks incredible and definitely stands out! heliamphora minor pilosa AW-RSC. 🌱

Pitcher is looking sultry! Interesting light on these two tone hairs. This is an older pitcher of a fun hybrid, heliamphora ionasi x pilosa. 🌱🥰🧡

The velvet looking interior of the Heliamphora pitcher is actually an array of tiny specialized trichomes. When broken, these release chemicals to drug unsuspecting insects to fall into the urn below to be digested. 🌱

Sarracenia breeding can be very rewarding. The variation in a batch of seed is often surprising. This one is a keeper!

#nepenthes naga x tenuis This is a seedgrown hybrid carnivorous plant from a limited run by one of my favorite sellers. It grows very dark tubby pitchers when happy and growing under bright light. And they are very very dark. There's few other pitcher plants that are as black as this.

The pitchers are starting to get very crowded! Once they reach a certain mass, these plants really take off. This is an exceptionally vigorous cross of parva EH x pulchella. 🌱🥰🧡

Drosera Adelae, an Australian Sundew, is a stunning Carnivorous Plant 🌱

The dew drops are sticky mucilage that trap and digest prey ☠️

My indoor Sarracenia set up. North American pitcher plants tend to make terrible indoor plants, unless you have enough light, space, and climate control! Definitely best enjoyed as an outdoor plant in most of the US. 🌱
