@lori.tas: The transparent one is not sticky. I wonder if this plant has unisexual flowers. So curious to know which species it is.

Reminds me of how carnivorous plants have trap 'flowers' and real flowers. The real flowers are usually way up the top so that they don't accidentally catch their pollinators. Were the little ones sticky?
