I couldn't let DVG have all the fun posting newly acquired Helis from Avery. Here's my H. pulchella "Chimanta Tepui", another compact grower. This specific location was actually the first Heliamphora to ever catch my eye when I first started learning about CPs.

This clone has been slow for me, I only took a few divisions. My plants are just starting to make mature pitchers. Good luck with your plant! Here’s the “parent” plant:

I couldn't let DVG have all the fun posting newly acquired Helis from Avery. And nor should you let me. GJ, that's a beauty and thank you for starting a separate thread with this one and also to Avery for adding to it with his lovely colony of them. Looking forward to your success with this one Gary. Cheers, Doug dvg

Though still a petite plant overall, the newest pitcher is looking like it's going to dwarf the others. Hopefully a sign that it's happy, and that there's good things to come.

That's a great looking new pitcher emerging there gj . Overall, your clump doesn't appear to be pouting nor sulking at all! dvg

So far so good! Of the three I have, this one certainly seems to be growing the quickest, though the H. pulchella "Churi Tepui" is pretty darn close to matching it. The slowest of the bunch at the moment appears to be the H. minor "Burgundy Black".

My "Churi Tepui" is my second fastest grower too. But my fastest Heli so far is H. minor from Auyan Tepui. Will try to share an update on that one soon. dvg

avery, I'll bet they're going to put on quite a show for you when they're in full bloom!

It's fun learning new plants. A few weeks ago, I spotted a strange looking pitcher on my H. pulchella "Chimanta Tepui". A week or so after that, I was surprised to realise it wasn't a pitcher at all! The stalk of the flower looks a little funky as my dome clearly isn't tall enough for it, especially in the taller pots I put them in when they started to send roots out the bottom of the last pots I had them in. Full shot (flower was a little blown out from black background): Put a piece of paper behind it to catch the delicate colours in the flower itself as it begins to open: I really wasn't expecting these to go to flower so soon, but just as the flowers are starting to really come to life on this plant, my H. minor "Burgundy Black" has begun to throw up a flower as well (will share pictures when it blooms).

You have a natural talent for growing this one well! Love the dark colour.
