Seeing Double

Dude, I’m, seein’ double! Check out this lid!

I recently noticed this on one of the seedlings. It’s not a trait that is on all pitchers of this plant but just happened on this one pitcher.  I’ve seen this happen a couple of times in other peoples collection, but it doesn’t happen very much from what I can tell. Interesting though!

This double lidded pitcher is from one of the seedlings of S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava v. rubricorpora x leucophylla).  The cross was done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman and S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ was created by the master-hybridizer dude, Phil Faulisi.

Below is what the other pitchers of this seedling are starting to look like. It’s a photo of the same plant, just different “regular” pitcher.
