Funky Drosera flower?

I dont get to see most Drosera flowers since they're closed by the time I get home, but isn't this wrong? I like it though!!

Yeah, that strikes me as really different. Is it just one flower or is it repeated?

 

[adnedarn]

No idea, first time seeing it. Not even sure which of that group it is lol, maybe one of the other photos will say. I should send you some leaves to check. I'll try to check in the mornings and see if more do it.

I've not seen another flower like that. But on a different stalk from the same clump of plants I have this today.

The first flower reminds me of results from plants treated with chemicals to cause polyploidy.

Or I guess 112-118f days and 85f nights can mess them up too?

It would be fun to raise up some Irradiated sundew seed, as can be purchased at Walmart:
Robot or human?

I ran a seed packet of my Drosera anglica CA X HI twice through a courthouse x-ray machine while on jury duty. No affect; not high enough rads.
