This beast boasts semi spherical nectar spoons, gold hairs and rigid long lasting pitchers. It's very vigorous and grows quite large... Heliamphora ionasi RG x pilosa 2 - AW 🌱 #carnivorousplants #heliamphora #plantphotography

I've been watching this plant unfurl for over a week and it has really captivated me. This mesmerizing beauty is a massive plant, with sprawling gangsta-lean pitchers that push everything else around. Surreal color graduation as well... Heliamphora ionasi "Yellow Stripe" Chuck Lyons 🌱 #horticulture

Some plants just speak to me, and this one is yelling! This electric colored heliamphora is the largest pulchella in my collection, rising to over 7" and it hasn't slowed down yet. It's an absolute unit, has crazy venation and colors that absolutely sing. Heliamphora pulchella Amuri AW1 🌱

his is certainly one of the most distinctive hybrids, heliamphora sarracenoides x minor 'Burgundy Black'. It has a graceful, spiraling nectar spoon that is so just so pleasing to watch unfurl. 🌱 #carnivorousplants #heliamphora #plantphotography

Fresh pop on a flowering size h. glabra AW. I've had this flower twice in the last 4 months and it keeps dividing. Such a stunning and unique plant. 🌱 #carnivorousplants #heliamphora #pitcherplants

It's officially Summer! Happy Solstice everyone. I've been busy collecting pollen and pollinating some plants. I hope all is going well with you and your gardens... Heliamphora pulchella Churi 🌱 #carnivorousplants #heliamphora #plantphotography

One of the most beautiful plants in the collection. A freshly opened Heliamphora ceracea from @andreas.wistuba 🌱 #plantphotography #carnivorousplants #horticulture

This peculiar flower has dashing sepals which bend with age... I caught this mid to late in its blooming display. A gorgeous plant, Lepanthes felis. 🌱 #orchids #plantphotography #horticulture

I really enjoy watching the pitchers inflate and this one ended up making a balloon later on before it burst open. I had high hopes when I received these as juveniles and now that I'm getting mature pitchers and massive leaf jumps I am absolutely thrilled. Heliamphora "Cyclops" 🌱 #plantphotography

Anyone sick of me posting pulchella pictures yet? Any guesses which clone this might be? 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #botany #horticulture

Look at this cozy snuggle puddle. Pulchella keeps calling and I keep answering! This beautiful plant is diminutive in stature but is chock-full of personality. Don't mind the u. humboldtii stolon invading the pot... heliamphora pulchella Churi 🌱 #plantphotography #botany #carnivorousplants

I keep coming back to this plant. It is just so unique and the pictures don't quite do it justice. As the pitchers age they turn so dark, with the contrasting white hairs on the inside and around the rim... it is just stunning. Heliamphora pulchella 🌱 #carnivorousplants #plantphotography #botany

Heliamphora neblinae x sarracenoides is a complete stunner. It grows very slowly, but it has the most surreal nectar spoons and a beautiful rosette form. I can't wait to see this new pitcher open! 🌱

Absolutely stunning bloom on this Lepanthes ortegae. 🌱 #orchids #plantphotography #nature #horticulture

One of my dream tepui plants and it's finally starting to bulk up, and honestly is probably ready for another repot soon! 🌱 Orectanthe aff. Sceptrum #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #plantphotography #botany #horticulture #nature

This insanely beautiful and delicate flower reminds me of a starfish! I've been collecting Lepanthes for about a year and I love their size and character... People often dissuaded me from keeping them, but I've found them to be fairly low maintenance w/ my culture. 🌱 #orchids #plantphotography

May The 4th Be With You! “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. -Yoda 🌱 Heliamphora "Ewok" #plantphotography

Color galore... this luscious and vibrant specimen is none other than heliamphora heterodoxa x minor! This was my very first plant in the genus which ushered me into this serene, peaceful and beautiful rabbit hole. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #plantphotography #foliage #natureisbeautiful

I just love the contrast of this new growth with the mature pitchers on this heliamphora pulchella AW - ISC. It's been a very vigorous grower for me, one of my tallest pulchellas and clumps like all the others. The venation is also spectacular! 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #plantphotography

Apparently plants can have good hair days. Moss going bananas as well! Another reminder that spring has sprung. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful #plantaddict #plants #foliage

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 🌱 #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful #nepenthes #plants

Starting to get some new pitchers from this freshly acclimated heliamphora heterodoxa. Notice the mutated phyllodia in the bottom left? This happens sometimes when plants make new divisions or are freshly acclimating. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #plantphotography

Several months ago I ventured into growing Lepanthes and I've been rewarded with some amazing blooms! Lepanthes echo #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful #lepanthes #orchids #flowers

"The true meaning of beauty is the feeling of joy and peace it brings to the heart." -Rumi A small collection of Heliamphora pulchella among the moss.🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful #plants

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 🌱 #heliamphora #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful

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. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful

Plants go through phases, they change with the seasons and react to our care in various ways... all parts of nature's cadence and our horticultural practices. I've been waiting for this plant to show me what's locked inside it's genetic code. Heliamphora sarracenoides. 🌱 #heliamphora #botany

The calcareous growths of this beautiful succulent are simply amazing... titanopsis primosii. 🌱 #succulents #mesembs #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful

Wonderful display of color today on this Heliamphora pulchella Amuri AW-ISC. Individual seed culture means that it is a plant that is genetically unique and was propagated in vitro. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #botany #horticulture #plantscience #plantphotography #natureisbeautiful

Several months ago this plant flowered and ceased all new growth. It really is amazing how long these pitchers can last, which can certainly be a blessing and a curse! Second photo is from 10 weeks ago. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #plantphotography

“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious... - Henry David Thoreau 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful

In the battle between hairy heliamphora and moss everyone wins. A culmination of intentional neglect and letting these guys just do their thing. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful

A stunning hybrid of a unique carnivorous plant, Heliamphora "Sad Red" from Andreas Wistuba. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #plantphotography #photography #natureisbeautiful

This plant boasts some of the most distinctive nectar spoons and it produces copious amount of nectar. This is a division from one of my favorite hybrids, heliamphora sarracenoides x minor burgundy black. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience

This blue green iridescent beauty hails from the tepuis in the Guiana shield. One of the many heliamphora companion plants in the collection, Orectanthe sceptrum. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #bromeliads #tillandsia #xyridaceae

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. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #botany #horticulture #nature

Definitely one of my favorites. The queen of color, heliamphora Macdonaldae. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience

A23a has finally escaped the vortex! 🏊‍♀️🌀 The biggest iceberg in the world is on the move again after a casual half-year sabbatical spent spinning in circles.

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! 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature

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. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience

Surreal view of the inside of a very large (and old) heliamphora ionasi pitcher. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience

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". 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience

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". 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience

I love watching the new pitchers inflate and unfurl... The interiors continue to develop and it's so satisfying to watch them surpass their previous growth with those leaf jumps. heliamphora parva Cerro Neblinae. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience
