Looks like you have two flower stalks and maybe two plants there. It'll be a few weeks before the flowers are ready to open.
Just keep them well watered as they appear healthy and you should be rewarded with some nice trap growth. I've noticed with my VFTs the trap size growth definitely gets smaller during flower production.

Not being to familiar with VFT's what the pros and cons of clipping the flower?? I think your right about having two plants but since it's doing so good I'm going to leave it alone and maybe divide them next year.
Letting the plant flower can divert more of its energy towards flowering, and then make for an unhealthy plant, although this is not always the case. The only reason I'd think you'd want flowers is either just to "experience" them or for seeds.
Most likely the larger of the two plants produced an off-shoot from it's bulb thing, which is why you have two plants.

Genetic diversity within Typicals in circulation has decreased due to the decreased practice of field collection and the increased practice of tissue culture in general, but in this case, the plants are exact clones. For this reason, any seed set may be weak. Many plants don't like to self pollinate, and "crossing" two clones is, in practice, self-pollination.
