Mystery Texas Plant: Not a Pitcher Plant, Likely Deformed Grass

A grower found a plant in Texas (June, 100°F, drought, caliche soil, under tree, full sun) with 1.5–2" pitcher-shaped flowers, bulbous bases, thin grass-like leaves, spreading low. Expert: no pitcher plant grows in those conditions. Likely deformed grass stalk. Follow-up: multiple "pitchers," distinct texture/color, shriveled next day. Expert: if "pitchers" are flowers, not leaves, it's not a carnivorous pitcher plant. Suggests taking sample to nursery/university for botanist ID.
