Maiden Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just for the record; The first heliamphora minor var pilosa flower has been pollinated, 5 minutes ago, for the second time, with h.minor var minor pollen. The pollen was frozen since last summer. (By the way, no need fancy methods, just put the pollen in a saucer, in a ziploc bag, in the freezer). The h.minor var pilosa stigma tip is already brown; thats mean its successful. I will keep adding pollen for the next few days, to be 100% sure. This will mimic whats happen in the wild with bubble bees. Of course, the first flower will gives heliamphora minor var pilosa X heliamphora minor var minor seeds, but the main exercice here is to collect h.minor var pilosa pure seeds. So i will collect the golden pilosa pollen on the first flower, when the anthers will be ready and dry enough. The next pilosa's flowers will be pollinated with pilosa pure pollen. Time will tell Francois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Success !! The ovary start to get bigger! Im VERY pleased I got 2 flowers on my pilosa clone A; both ovaries get bigger. The first one will be h.minor var pilosa x h.minor var minor seeds, and the second one pure h.minor var pilosa seeds. Hope the pilosa will have major influence in the crosses, i still have a lot of pilosa pollen and growing flowers hamps from pulchella[akopan, amuri], parvas, hispida and ceracea. Just cant wait! wOOt wOOt :-) Francois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Heliamphora 'red mambo' This heliamphora clone is very unique. Put aside the unique 'horned' nectar spoon and the elegant pitcher style. This heliamphora is unique for the strange nectar collecting 'bubble' at the lid. The bubble is located on the left side only. Another pitcher Its pretty unique, stunning and im very proud to be the only grower in the world to grow that unique plant. I will probably release 2-3 divisions next year. Francois Edited October 7, 2015 by Maiden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Anderson Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi maiden, love your heli's. I've just started collecting them, just received a lovely minor auyan tepui and Pulchella, hopefully they'll do well in my conditions Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Im pretty sure you will like em, these are magic and unique plants. Keep me posted with your cultures ! :) Francois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Anderson Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I'm hoping that they will both do well, but at least the minor should do well as I've got the u quelchii auyan tepui from the same seller and that is doing really well, I know I'm talking about to separate genera but they both live on the same tepui so hopefully if one works in my conditions then hopefully the other will. One good thing is that both heli's haven't skipped a beat and are growing and haven't stalled with being transported from Poland to Scotland bare root:) Mark Edited October 7, 2015 by carni grower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossu Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I know I'm late to this party, but all I can say is WOW, what stunning plants (and great photography as well!). Â So I'm hugely tempted, but not sure if I would be able to grow them. It looks like yours are all growing under bright lights. Is this necessary, or can they be grown in daylight? I'm a rank beginner, and don't (yet) have the facilities to do the fancy stuff. At the moment, my CPs are in water trays on my dining room window sill. Would I be able to grow helis like this, or do they need the bright light? Â Thanks for the beautiful pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Bright light is always better. But many growers use their window sill for growing heliamphora. Try h.minor, or h.heterodoxa. Hybrids too are great for low humidity and low light. Your plants will be greener, but its possible :) Edited October 22, 2015 by Maiden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what I wanted to hear as well  There's someone here selling H. minor and a couple of H. heterodoxa hybrids, and the pics he sent look fabulous. I'm just waiting to see another pic, then will decide which to get.  Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
