!?!?!?!?!

Gosh, :o I don't know what to think! In my terrarium I have a Cobra Lily that I recently transplanted into there. I was just checkin on things and down by the base of the plant, there is a 1 1/2" tall pitcher. I mean it is very obviously a pitcher. But it sure as hay ain't a Cobralily. It appears to be a lil seedling, but from where! I've had this plant since x-mas now. I really wanna see what species!!! ack! It obviously came up from some cross contamination at the nurseries, but what should I do w/ it? I believe it is best not to transplant it. Gosh. Surprises are always popping up in this terrarium.
Thanks!!!
 
Neppie,

It is probably a Cobra pitcher. I would guess that the rhizome of your plant is developing a new growth point. The first pitchers that come up look very NON-Cobra but by about the 4th-5th they start getting their snake-like appearance.
