Funny drosera flower?

I got an error message and it shows a pic of a nep.
 
Never heard of a ceph

Looks like Cephalotus follicularis....Australian pitcher plant.
 
Sorry, it looks like one has to join the forum before you can see the picture of the drosera. The ceph picture is not the one you should be looking at

I HOPE YOU CAN ALL SEE IT NOW

Just a ridiculously mutated D. capensis. Very interesting and bizarre though. Haven't seen anything like that before. The petals are a combination of glandular leaves and petals. Certainly not a new species or anything. I doubt whether this mutation will be stable. It'll probably produce a normal flower next time.

I wonder if the flowerhead was cut and rooted whether the leaves would continue to be half leaf, half petal. It would be fantastic if it did.
 
Hmm...like D.intermedia with plantlets growing on its flower stalk.

Fantastic mutant!!! I've seen flowers where the petals were substituted by glandular leaves, but the two in one is a first. Really cool!!
