Well that could be possible......And that reminds me of one of my neps which has a basal shoot which has one tiny immature leaf coming out from the drainage holes....Its just one tiny leaf no tendrills immediatly to the pitcher...It looks like those the size of neps which just germinated and gave out its first pitchers.I wonder how in the world that tiny leaf got there...
