Photos taking in a few days interval. What is this sticking out of the middle of drosera omissa ? It is not a flower stalk. I had a few by now.

At the last 10 second you can see a gland.
Managed to capture a image on its back end of the structure. It was hard because of the lens glare. Now Lovecraft stories comes in my mind ...

I've seen that growing out of a lot of moss, at first I thought it was moss flowering but moss spores not flowers. Not sure what it is but I wanna know

I've seen these growing at the same time as flower stalks. They have the same hairs on the stalk as flowers, but instead of flower buds, there is a small number of trapping tentacles on it. They are also not flat like normal leaves - the stalk actually looks like a flower stalk.
PS: seen this on Drosera capensis, not omissa, but I guess it's the same thing.
