Looking for Heliamphora

Besides ordering from overseas, does anyone know where I can buy a Helimphora pulchella, nutans or heterodoxa? I've been growing Heli minors but it's become a "been there done that" sort of thing and I want to try the others. I would prefer to buy from someone reliable in the USA to keep the shipping costs down and reduce time in transit shock on the plants.
AND since Matt's out of stock of the nutans :( , I thought I would ask here.

He's currently sold out but watch his site occasionally he gets some available.

Your other choice is eBay.

Very few nurseries will carry anything besides minor and nutans and I see very few with anything in stock at all currently

Cory I was so excited when I saw you replied, was hoping you would say "I have some!" :lol:

Thank you so much for that link and wow....his prices are very reasonable. I have it bookmarked and am thinking of sending him an email to see if he can give me a ball park time frame on when he might have some available. Doesn't hurt to ask
or nag..... ;)

It always helps lol.
Marcus is a nice guy.

I have some divisions of minor var. big orange here now but they are far to small and soft for new growers

Bug me in the spring I may have some plants available by then. Or nag your preference lol

I'm going to start hanging around here more and keeping an eye out in this section.
Just so you know, I followed your instructions that you have posted on this forum on how to divide up and care for Ceph's divisions and all 9 of my divisions survived.....thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I know California carnivores just put some plants up for sale, they are more on the expensive side but they have really good shipping methods. I am sure they're well known on this site.

Thank you for the replies. I found a source, well 3 actually. This should take care of my Heli "fix" for awhile. (and my pocket book :lol: ) I'll be sure to post pics once I get all of them settled in.
