Hope these help: and here is a new video of me harvesting pollen with a tuning fork. Watch carefully.. the releases are just "puffs" EDIT: couple new pics and pulcella pitchers are not the only hirsute feature Hope this helps, Briar

helps greatly. I have a nutans that has been growing well for me, and recently it started growing oddly. It went from a single growth point to 4 or 5 in like the span of a week. I noticed the next "pitcher" coming up (always checking to see if they're immature or adult to make sure i haven't buggered something up), and it looks off. the slit is already parted a bit and its opening to the outside, not the center like normal. So as usual just trying to figure it out because I'm impatient. Nice video of the pollen collection, i could indeed see the puffs of pollen, but once released how on earth do you capture it for use!? Thanks Sib

Thanks Sib Sib, It was actually easy.... I just put a black cdrom case under the flower. The case may have had a slight static charge... but it captured quite a bit. Thanks V Butch

Yours may very well be a flower, the timing is right. Stronger backlighting might help to see it better. Well done Sib Butch

lol. that sure would be something to see! I'll keep an eye on it and snap another photo when it grows out a bit more. Anyone else have helis flowering in the next bit? i could always give selfing a go lol. is it the anthers on this that ripen before the stigma, or vice versa... Sib

Stigma first, then antlers

still hard to tell for sure, but looking like a flower to me... they usually bloom twice a year and the timing seems to be pretty universal amoung growers and that time is now give the pitchers a few drops of a weak orchid mix congrats Briar
