What are these stalks growing in my Fly Trap pot? Tried searching but had no luck!

    Those are the itty bitty flowers of a terrestrial Utricularia, aka Bladderworts. The little green blobs on the bottom are its leaves. Totally harmless hitchhiker.

    A close up of a fully unfurled flower would help determine what it is, but i agree with the other comment that it looks like U. Bisquamata from a distance. It won’t likely survive the winter dormancy that your flytrap will need sadly. If you want to keep them as a companion for a different tropical plant or on its own, try taking a chunk of the soil it was in out and putting it in its own pot later. Soil and watering conditions are near identical for most terrestrial species to that of flytraps and sundews.
