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

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

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

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

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

Interested in natural climate solutions? Please meet your new friend Sphagnum, which produces biomass that is difficult to decompose and thus is an efficient carbon sink. What if we normalized backyard Sphagnum gardens? This science girl can dream.
