I am currently growing about 1,000 Chinese Dumpling clones (from TC- you can buy them in my shop, Phamcliff.com), and one of them has a crazy symmetry-breaking phenotype: wildtype cilia on one side, dumpling cilia on the other. You can even see it in the young trap emerging in the second pic!

My guess is that it's a chimeric mutation in the shoot apical meristem, which is not generally stable. But hey, if it is stable, it'll be a tight clone. 'Two face', or "Jeckyll and Hyde' would be sweet names, hah.

Some D. capensis 'red form' in the back too, planted at the same time.

Grown under low light (238 PPFD, I just measured it) and high fertilization in pure peat, as is my normal approach.

I think people tend to over-estimate the light needs of most of our carnivorous plants, and of course, most under-fertilize them.

Hey folks, I am running a sale through Sunday on D. Muscipula 'Big Mouth', get 2 for the price of 1 (that's just 5 bucks each if you get the small size).

It's a really vigorous, pretty clone- as you can see, it's overgrowing my nursery trays! These were maybe 1/2 as big 3 weeks ago, they're crushing growth.

You can order at my website Phamcliff.com, happy to toss in a small bag of nutricote for free (what I'm best known for here, other than saying dormancy is not required in VFTs) if you mention it in the order.
