Jeff,
I had this happen last spring and summer. Looks pretty weird, there was
one
"hinge" down the centre of the leaf, with three lobes. Other times I
managed
to get two perfectly formed traps on the end of a leaf! I sent a couple
to people to see if they would continue to do so, but so far they
haven't (or have they Tom??).
Bye for Now,
-Russell
