While it is common to see these, Ive not seen many where the pitcher is so normal in size and form.

notice the diameter of the stem

I too have had pitchers occur on flower stalks but none so "normal looking" as that one you have there. Usually they are distorted and strangely-coloured in my experience . . .

Are you going to let it develop?

 

[Av8tor1]

Bella,

probably not, I would like too but with it being an indoor grow rack... room becomes an issue.

Looks great Butch! Love the helis. How do you get it so red

 

[Capensis]

Amazing as always

 

[Av8tor1]

Thanks cape

Poly, Im sure it is a combination of factors of which my lighting is a major component.

Bella, I clipped her and another tequila tonight... just for fun I stuck the stems in a pot, lets see if they root

[polywer2345]

okay Butch, srry for replying so slow

Amazing, Av. That's the first time I've seen one where the pitcher is so fully and correctly developed. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Av8tor1]

Thanks Est, and if you notice the stem is much thicker then normal as well... I snipped it and stuck it in some LFS, interested in seeing if it roots

Ah, I hadn't noticed that the stem was thicker. I've only been graced with a flower from a Heli once last year (hoping I'll be as lucky again this year) so I don't have the trained eye yet. Looks like the plant is confused between making a pitcher, making a flower, and making a "runner."

Look forward to hearing about the cutting.
