Hitchhiker

I received a sundew from an online seller about a month ago. I just noticed this hitchhiker in the corner of the pot!

LOL somebody messed up big time. Congrats on the free ceph!
 
That, my friend, is a cephalotus. You're quite lucky to have gotten one for free.
 
Well that's certainly something I've never seen before. Congratulations!
 
Who is the online seller? I am going to order 100 sundews if they all have ceph as companion plants😁 Congratulations for your good deal!

Extraordinary bit of good fortune there! I would love to have this show up as a hitchhiker. :)
 
The funny part for me is that sundews are usually the hitchhikers, second only to Utricularia of course. I've never purchased a cape sundew, but I must have 2 dozen mixed in with my other plants. I find it hilarious that I buy a sundew only to find something so cool mixed in.

You better bet I checked all the other pots from this order too. Alas no more Cephalotus.

Nice one!
How did you not notice this before? That much couldn't have grown from a seed a month, and even an accidentally buried leaf wouldn't make two pitchers in a month...

Is that a Drosophyllum?

It was most definitely a baby Drosophyllum.... and I killed it after the second transplant into a taller pot.
