First flower bud on 20 months old seedling

I know it's probably nowhere near a record, but one of my 20 months seedling is producing its first flower bud. It was in the grow tent, and I brought it outside 2 weeks ago, and it started growing a flower. pretty cool! It's a red moorie. I guess I should cut if off?

I really like Sarr flowers. They have a lot of character and last for the whole year. Plus they're green and photosynthesize.

Just wondering if I should cut off the flower, since the plant is so young. it's not even 2 years old and they are supposed to bloom at no less then 3 years. This seedling just turned a year and half and I wonder if it will be too much for the plant.

Let nature take it's course - I want to see what the flower looks like.

Ok here is the flower. It did not grow very tall but it's well formed.

Wow, those look stunning. I see little bably one's growing right beside the big ones.
Also, all of you sarracenia's are nicely spaced out so I am thinking I might have to start splitting mine apart.

I try to space them as much as possible and also, when they start to stall their growth, I repot them because that's the best way to give them a good boost in growth. 2 weeks after repotting they usually start growing a lot.

The small one beside in the same pot is from the same rhizome, it started to grow a new small division. It's not another plant.
