My First Heliamphora Folliculata Flower...


Recommended Posts

Hi :clapping: !

Thanks for the kind words :confused: .

This plant comes from Murosipan tepui.

The flower is pink, Aidan. It's hard to get the right colour with those tubes.

The biggest pitcher is 25 cm height. I've got this specimen back in september 2006 at the EEE of Bonn. The plant had only 3 pitchers which barely reached 10 or 12 cm (already a good size, yes).

Here is a picture of the plant in 2006 (the unopened pitcher wasn"t there when i bought it):

One year later, i've been rewarded with four growing points (14-15 pitchers), pitchers are 20-25 cm lengh and the plant is flowering. I've got to say i never thought it would grow so fast!

Friendly,
