My pitcher plant that I have had for about 5 years suddenly produced a flower. It was so strange I thought it worthy of posting. It has 5 outer segments that broke open to expose 5 petals drooping from an inner carapace in which are the anthers and stigma. It looks very alien, and reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft stories. You can imagine how the evolution that generated the pitcher plant leaves that trap and drown insects must have warped how the plant thought its flower should look. Very nice suprise from my indoor carniverous plant.
Here is where my plant came from.
