(Source: Wistuba) This neblinae variant is now known as Heliamphora ceracea (Cerro Neblina, Braz. Ven.) I was informed of this prior to making the original post but was asked to keep it quiet till it became official The colour, waxy appearance and interesting nectarioles make for a beautiful plant IMHO. My apologies, the plant is a little rough looking from being repotted a week or so ago... Thanks for looking, Av

Very cool plant and species! Thanks for the photos. The drops of moisture on the midrib of the pitcher - those are nectar?

i dont think people realize how friggen weird and awesome these photos are....those droplets of nectar didnt just magically form, or are they just droplets....those are nectar spoon indentations trailing down the center of the pitcher! they just look like droplets because no bugs have been feeding off them. certainly unique in the world of heliamphora.

Fantastic plants as usual, Butch! That's one that just simply refuses to grow well for me....all other species grow like weeds. Does this species seem to appreciate a nightly cool down more than the others? Best Wishes! Brian

Hey Brian, good to see ya.... been a bit.
This one doesnt seem to have any special needs, it's sitting in the same rack as the rest of the herd. It's been a robust grower since it's arrival.
Thanks for the kind words, she is a beautiful heli if I do say so.
Butch
