The community will vote by liking your picture. The person who has the most likes by the end of the giveaway wins a fabulous prize. I will post an example of one of mine.

1)Shadowtski - Crestated Drosophyllum lusitanicum

My only genuine mutant that I have a photo of: Pinguicula sp. ‘Guatemala 3100m’ (a tiny moranensis variety) cresting during its winter growth. (It got quite a bit wider, but when it returned to summer growth, all the crest broke apart into 25-30 small individual plants.

D. “Lantau Island” with a double leaf.

In the right hand side the spatulatas decide to make a fork flower. Wide thick stem that branches out into two different stems.

One of my Drosera spathulata got super clumpy . One day I'm going to divide it so the maybe thirty individiual growth points will get enough sunlight to be happy. All my other D. spathulata are perfectly fine, just don't know what's up with this guy .

Hey, I don't have any crazy mutants, but my forked sundew var. Marston dragon (I think, not sure on the variety) sent out this interesting looking leaf. It started to grow tentacles before forking.

Keep the weird pictures coming. Seems to have slowed down. Please start voting by pressing like for your favorite weirdo.
Here are a couple more of mine...

Ok, thank you HH! That is a freaky flytrap, what is that growth in the middle of it? Also, can I submit multiple mutants?

Aslo, how many likes can I give? Just one? Thanks

Wow, maybe VFT will evolve a vegetable “lure” just like the Angler Fish, and start catching robins.

Yes you can submit multiple mutants...and you can cast multiple votes if you like more than one picture.

This was the a weirdo for sure. It looked like another trap was going to develop inside the trap. But the big trap was activated by something and when it opened again the little growth thing was gone. Cannibalized.

alright here is our weirdest one yet. back in oct/nov the kid clipped off two big young unfurling leaves of our massive D Tracyii and then I ended up cutting them up into about 2" pieces and we put them on a variety of different substrates under the lights, some covered and some uncovered. the unfurling tip of one leaf wasn't fully unrolled yet, and that one was placed inside live sphagnum in 100% humidity

skip forward and we noticed that the unfurled leaf bit...was actually growing still in the bin, it eventually snaked out of the bin towards the light (the live sphag is in very small containers and overflowing from top of them with plexi just resting on top now)

we pulled that container and dug the live sphag away a a little and noticed that it had actually forked off and had a new leaf coming up near the base where it was cut/under the sphagnum so we tucked it back in and continued watching it grow. skip forward to the end of December we had moved all the plantlets from cuttings that took and uhhh here they are, you can clearly tell what the original leaf portion that just re-rooted itself and started growing a full new plant in the photo I believe LOL

*ignore the cobra lily label, 2" pot to left of white pot is one of the regular strikes at the same time.
