VFT mutation

[clasby]

So check this out. I rescued 3 generic VFTs from a local nursery this past Mother's Day and planted them in a terrarium with my existing VFTs. To my delight, they've all been doing great.

A few days ago, an odd looking leaf began to grow on one of them. I didn't give it a WHOLE lot of thought until this evening when I really had a good look at it. I took the best pics I could with the point and shoot camera I have.




I looks kinda like a cross between a VFT and a Sundew.

There is a plant known as 'Crested Petioles' where all leaves are somewhat similar to this. There's a photo here on my site -

VFT will do all sorts of strange things from time to time and the probability is that your plant will soon return to normal growth.
