When going out to trim my Pitcher Plant (Bug Eater) I noticed this limb/branch coming out.

Anyone know what it is ? First time in 2 1/2 years I've seen something like this.

You have a Pitcher Plant from the genus Nepenthes. What you see is a bloom spray. It is either about to flower our it has and these are developing seed pods.

This did not occur overnight so you must have observed the growth. Did you take a sequence of photos during this time?
It would be interesting to see.

Google "Nepenthes Flowering", Images and you will see many varieties.
