Possible mutation

[rcrob]

It appears that a fly trap is sprouting from one of the flower stems. Has anybody seen this before?is it a mutation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Clue]

nothing but false vivipary, an occasional morphological (not genetic) quirk where part of the flower anatomy is replaced with a plantlet; you can read more about it on Barry Rice's FAQ here: http://www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq2680.html

It happens rather regularly in Dionaea and several Drosera species; I just posted pics on IG of a sessilifolia x burmannii hybrid with an apomictic plantlet producing its own flower stalk.
