FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi,

I thought to post this mysterious picture. One of the leaves is pushing two traps simultaneously on a single leaf! Is it common to happen? It may look like there's just 2 leaves growing really close to each other, but I've been watching them since the day one and I can tell you it's real.
Thoughts, comments?

WOW nice plant.

Is it common to happen?

well i would not say common, but it does happen.

I agree with tejan in both regards, nice plant! And it's not terribly common, but as far as mutations go, it's one of the most common you'll see.

It happens occasionally that a leaf will produce two traps. Last year I had a leaf that split into two upper portions of the leaf (upper portions of the petiole) and each of those upper petioles produced 2 traps like the leaf on your plant, so I had 4 traps on one leaf.

On another plant, one trap divided as it was developing, so I had a trap that looked like a single trap at the bottom (where it connects to the petiole--the major portion of the leaf) and the upper part of the trap looked like 2 traps side by side.

Nice Flytrap!

Wow, Awesome VFT!
