A new Heliamphora hybrid

[snapperhead51]

I do as many heli pollinations as I can , try to make self specie and new hybrids that will grow quickly and large , these new type hybrid should be a winner when adult size , as the parent are both very large plants , the new growth from seed so far seems to indicate very rapid growth for heli seedlings

the parent plants

H.minor x heterodoxa

H.nutans

new hybrid from parents above sown 10/ 11/11 so good growth rate


But in T/C its even quicker

H.minor x hetro sown 12/ 3 / 12 re-plated 28 / 6 / 12 so much faster growth

Very cool, mate. The seedlings looks promising to me. Nicely job with T/C as well and when u cross the parents which one from both plants is the real plant with the seeds come from? In othewr words, however which is the mother plant.
Secondly, how do u get the names of the crossing, which plant give the first name of the crossing - the plant with the flower or the other one where the pollen is taken from?

Hi Dimi
thanks , yes the female is the first name the male is the second , , so the H.mino x heterodoxa is the female plant and the nutans is the male plant in this crossing, the next one I look to get going is H,nutans giant x nutans , this all so should be a large plant plus any others to come , have made some new hybrids over the last several months , now have to wait for the seed to form and ripen the germination , ,will be some possibly 6 to 8 months from now !!
