alanbower Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Been told I should post this as a thread... How many "mutated" traps are around? Anyone seen one with more than three fused together? Is it a frequent occurance!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trauts2002 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) WOW shame it cant be cloned like that! I had a few double traps appear last year on typicals (bought from garden center) I seem to remember that that it sometimes happens due to the chemicals used in the tissue cultures. Very nice trap all the same. (I also had a S. Rubra Alabamensis throw out a couple of Double pitchers as well, ill see if i can find the pics if anyone wants to see) Edited April 20, 2011 by trauts2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowii Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 This looks really cool. I wonder what happens if you trigger a trap. Will all of them close or only the one triggered? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look carefully you will see the trigger hairs for each trap still facing the inside of each one... { } { } { } \/*\/* \/ *Conected Edited April 20, 2011 by alanbower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesredtraps Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Take a look here http://www.carnivorousplants.org/cpn/Species/v39n3p78_81.html#Mirror ,this plant does the mutation continueously and as you see, is a registered cultivar. If your plant keeps doing this you may have something special on your hands, if not and it reverts back to normal just enjoy it while it's here.
