It has been suggested that the foetida var gossypifolia is carniverous. I'm inclined to believe it after photographing some extreme close ups of the bracts, leaf stem and stem/bud junctions. The tentacle look very similar to the ones found on Sundews and have a sticky substance on the tips that entangle insects.

First a picture of the actual flower - this one was taken last year as I haven't had any open yet this year.
