That's really unique. I wonder if there's any double-trap that covers both sides...

Very nice Devon!
I think you have a unique specimen here, or kinda rare thing. Pretty cool !
And of course, as always, well grown.

Nice work, I wouldn't doubt if it actually was "mirror" or offspring of it. Keep us updated!

Thanks guys.
The next two incoming traps appear to be normal. I will update for sure if more weird traps develop, or if they don't.

Fantastic and unique plant Devon. You could have something there if it proves stable.  |

Someday soon I'd like to try growing the "wacky traps" variety nice to have an oddity Devon.

Perhaps Mirror and Dingley's Giant are somehow related? Very cool looking plant.

Very cool! Looks like a homeobox gene mutation given that the placement & "structure" is it appears to be consistent on the mutant traps (always at the middle of the hinge and a pair of structures - one per side).
Can you send a picuture looking top down at the plant - I'm curious if it is symmetrical or biased to one side of plant.
There other possible explanations - e.g., pesticide/other chemical application at a critical development window - if you only got the mutant traps as a once off (all the new traps are normal etc).
If you continuously get these mutant traps - year after year in the same location etc - then it suggests a genetic cause rather environmental-induced one. Selfing the plant and seeing what the resultant progeny are like will provide greater insights into the nature of the mutation (if it is genetically based).
