Fasciated Dionaea

Hello, I was just checking in on our bog bench and noticed one of our
Dionaea putting up a fasciated flower stalk. It is about average in
thickness but is 4-5 times wider than normal. Dionaea normally being round.
It almost appears as if five flower stalks fused uniformly along the sides
to form this one composite stem.

Has anyone else encountered fasciation in CP's? I am just curious as to how
common this might be.

thanks... clint...
