Well, it's not too suprising given their "rarity". Allen has a good
range (but of very limited number) of hybrid Heliamphora seeds at the
moment. Does anyone want me to post this list to the group?

That's not a bad idea, Michael. The seeds themselves are interesting - they
are flat and round with a wing right around the edge, slightly cupped (for
aerodynamic stability I guess - they probably can drift for a short distance).
