Weird leaf? In calathea #helpneeded #calatheacrew

Question

Hello! My calathea is growing a weird unknown (to me) thingy. It doesn't seem to be a leaf. All leaves have grown in the shape of a purple straw that unfolds slowly. This one is green and layered. Does anyone knows what is going on?

It’s blooming a flower! It’ll eventually look like this photo I found on google as it starts to unfurl! Congratulations! 🎉
