Wow that is neat looking Brokken! Is that typical of this plant or is this a one time trap (looks like the latter from the picture)? Also what Sarr did this occur on?
 
I am sure that this contains leucophylla and purpurea, for one.

Amazing little freak. ;)
 
Yann: Though that's the most extreme example, I would say that the majority of other pitchers are far from typical:

Robert: I can venture some guesses as to what's in there, but it is a total unknown from Peter's nursery. Whatever it is it's exact parentage records have been lost.
