Ken, it`s expensive and hard to care for.

Monthly contest ? heheh. Too much trouble & time consuming to organise. We do the yearly anniversary contest & even that takes a lot of our time organising , getting sponsored prizes etc etc

Remember we don`t charge membership here & we don`t have $$$ to play around with.

If your able to order from Wistuba(wistuba.com), they have Heliamphora species and hybrids for sale for a slightly lower price than other nurseries. The only thing is that since they are based in Germany, you might have to deal with CITES paperwork.

Just posting some updates on my heliam. Alas it has given me a bigger pitcher that looks more like a Heliam pitcher... The new developing pitcher is at the center of the picture in lighter green colour. It is still developing at the moment. You can see the other smaller leaves/pitchers that it has produce at the side:

It's doing fine edward. Thanks for asking. Below is a picture I just took, but as you can see, there's not much difference compared to the earlier picture. Growth is very slow but lately the leaves are developing faster thanks to the cooler temperatures because of the rains.
