Heliamphora sarracenioides x minor Black Burgandy

This hybrid looks like something Dr. Seuss may have conjured up. The pitchers are cylindrical with a deep V-neck collar. The nectar spoon looks like a decorative quill, which adds to the plant's stylized appearance. In bright sunlight, pitchers turn attractively maroon.
