Going by memory, it seems to have a few extra red spots on it. Mine took a permanent swim down a streamlet a few weeks ago, having been dislodged by torrential rain.
Yeah, I had this creative idea for keeping its roots cool by having it anchored to the side of a streamlet running behind us. What I didn't count on was the strength of a persistent rainstorm, raising the water level, and carrying it off to who knows where. I found the empty pot, the styro cooler lid I had it emplaced, and the metal weed puller I had plunged into the ground. Very embarassing!
Is it possible that the "mutant" is just a very old leaf, on the decline?
i don't think its a mutant myself but I need other peoples opinion within the same field. Also, are you looking at the juvenile in the middle? it has a single needle like structure protruding from the top of the head instead of a forked tongue attached to the inner bottom part of the hood.
Its amazing with the ideas you can come up with. I guess you'll never plant them next to the stream again.
Looks like the top part is yellowing and dying from some infection lower down. There looks like a big brown patch which is nearly encircled the pitcher. The red spots is that an outbreak of botrytis? I am not much of a plant pathologist but that is deffinately some pathogen. The new leaves on the right side look nice and clean though.
not sure if it is botrytis but last summer I had a bad infestation of aphids so the new cobra lily growth is to the right of the photo but my camera couldn't take the whole picture with the plant that i was trying to focus it on.
My parents lived outside of Springfield , MO for a while and they had a house in the boonies with a stream from a underground source. I thought it would be a great place to do what Jim did, because that water was COLD.
