This is a unknown sarr in my collection and this year it has put up some flowers like I've never seen before. What the heck is going on here?

Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok' has a flower that looks like that.

You probably have a hybrid with 'Tarnok ' in its ancestry.

Good growing,
Mike

Ahhh thanks.
I wasn't aware some sarr flowers look like that. I've had this plant for years, so it hasn't flowered before or I just never noticed it. I'm trying to figure out where the seeds will collect, in normal sarr flowers it obvious where the seeds will collect.

'Tarnok' flowers are mutated so all the anthers develop into sepals instead. It is a fully fertile female flower, though it can be difficult for people to figure out where to place the pollen. I've been told the trait is not inheritable though I have seen at least one other plant with the same mutation. You should see the little stigma nubs at the end of those two-pronged sepals (I can see several in your second picture.)
