Hi,
Here's some pics of my Heli nutans I've had for a while now- flowers about twice a year, very fun plant. I thought one of these pictures at least looked like it was photographed in the wild('in situ'), since the environment around it looked a bit what I see in all the great pics Wistuba takes up on the tepuis. Anyway, you be the judge, or maybe just enjoy. These are great plants, I think they have a bit of an unfair reputation for being tricky, but, well, I guess you could be the judge of that opinion as well.
Enjoy, Nick
This is the one I thought looked like a habitat pic, what with all the dark, wet stone in the background, leaf detritus, etc.
a more 'cultivated' pic (I guess the pot gives it away...)
another shot
gotta finish with a flower!- the stalk is curvy as it had to adapt to the presence of the shelf above.
