[size=14.6667px]I bought this plant over five years ago. I know it's some sort of fly trap eating swamp plant ... I left it outdoors for years in a metal pot with water even through the frost. It always took longtime to come back. So this winter I kept it at a north facing kitchen sill and it kept growing and now this spring it grows the most intricate beautiful long lasting two blooms. Over a month now and suddenly the top one lost one row of downward petals and reveals these beautifull inverted umbrella over a bushy pistils.
[size=14.6667px]Are these the seeds?
[size=14.6667px]Can I put them in my pot to make more babies? Never seen any humming bird or others feed at it although I am often watching. I have taken many pics and videos of it as I find the structure as pretty if not more than orchids. That open umbrella shaped petal is mesmerizing.
[size=14.6667px]I have got many more but don't want to bore you.
[size=14.6667px]Thanks for any info my phone app can't seem to tell me. It always comes up with the classic ministry fly trap flats.
[size=14.6667px]This plant is like 60cm tall and then stem supporting the flowers is very solid in wind and rain.
[size=14.6667px]I wish I'd make more blooms.. Visually so rewarding. I'll be hunting down some more of I can.

It's some kind of pitcher plant. A brief Google Images search shows a number of Sarracenia species that look similar.

I’ve had the same struggle with trying to focus after busy days, and oddly enough, putting time into caring for my houseplants really helped. Something about watering them or just checking on their leaves helps me slow down and shift into a relaxed mode before working. I also found setting short 15-minute timers helped trick my brain into starting stuff more easily without feeling overwhelmed.
