S purpurea bloom stalk?

I was looking in my terrarium when i noticed a rather weird looking plump round mass was coming up from my purpurea.

i am no expert but it looks like a bloom is trying to come up.
is this the time for blooms? and do i even want it to bloom?

ive only had the plant about 2 months from home depot.
didnt think it would bloom so soon?

i can post a pic if need be tonight.
 
Yes, lets see the pic.

Hmmmm, why is it in a terrarium?
Sarracenia dont like terrariums.
They should be in dormacy by now.
 
they dont like terrariums?
mines been doing great in it.
i can't put it outdoors, cause its too dry here in arizona.

but for dormancy, it will be going there soon. just havent yet.

i will take a pic and post it tonight, hopefully not too late tonight.
 
ok here it is, sorry a little blurry

It's not unheard of for some Sarracenia to put up blooms late in the year. I see it mainly in flava's, and flava hybrids. Another explanation would be that your plant's timing is off (unless you're in the southern hemisphere). If it's been growing all year, I'd say it's just a late flower. I'd probably just cut it off and start putting it into dormancy.
 
yea, i would cut it off too, jus 4 safety, itll grow more later on, its dormancy, take it out of the tank and let it freeze (sleep) its pretty green, mine was like that too, look at the b4 and after wen i got it from OSH
its all burnt cuz it was changing environment(and i kinda experimented on it)
