Guest Andreas Eils Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Hahahaha.... really funny those hybrids! I should consider crossing my H. sarracenioides with my H. heterodoxa for the case both will flower the same time. Well, I have assumed both species may be closely related, because once my H. heterodoxa built a nectar hood mutation looking very similar to the nectar hood of H. sarracenioides. Oh, by the way - it was the Gran Sabana type of H. heterodoxa! Regards, Andy Edited June 27, 2009 by Andreas Eils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 What a great hybrid. Thanks Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Aha, so THAT'S where H.sarracenioides grows after all, hahaha! :) You HAVE to show us pics of this new Heli species on the vertical walls! And where are the Drosera, Genlisea and Utrics (other than U.quelchii)?? Thanks tons for the beautiful pics, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An D Smith Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thank you very much for all your comments. It was indeed a very memorable trip. Fernando, I procrastinated for ages over whether I should mention H. sarracenioides on Ptari but after a quick web search I realised there are several sites which already disclose this information. I will post pics of all those Utrics/Droseras and Genlisea I saw over the next few weeks. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hey Andy, I guess I haven't been following Heli news then. :) Either way, no matter how small the population of H.sarracenioides is, Ptari is not likely a place many people will go to (and simply to poach a plant which is already in cultivation). Best wishes, Fernando Rivadavia P.S. Can't wait to see your other pics! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
