Flowering VFT

Guest
I have a VFT which has flowered. I now have several groups of traps growing on the flower stalk just below the dead flower heads. Has anyone had this happen before? I would also like to know if it is possible grow new plants using these traps and if so how? I have taken some pictures of the flower stalk but i don't know how to include them in this post.
 
I am not sure how to post pics either..

But I have had what you are taliking about happen.

Leave the plants on the talk for some time...they will continue to get bigger. You can them remove them and plant them in their own pots.

I am not sure the point that they will stop growing on the stalk, but it seems faster than in the ground!

Ugh, I am so jealous! No dirt!
 
Awesome pic... now I'm wondering if maybe we should let our VFT's flower.

Edit: I wonder if eventually the stalk drops to the ground and the new plant takes root (in the wild).

Maybe it wanted to see out the window better so it up and got airbourne LOL!



P.S. How long should I let a flower stalk grow on my VFT before I should cut it off to save energy to the plant?
