i think i remember hearing something about plants switching sexes if something tramatic happens to it.

could this be the case or is it just a hermaphrodite?
If what you are saying is true, it is a herm. What you are calling "switching sexes" is just another term for hermaphroditism (they are not two different things).

Search for herm or hermie for more info.
