Is my calathea Freddie making a flower?

Itโ€™s watering time and I decided to give Frederika a little inspection to make sure she is doing well and no pests have invaded since she was attacked by spider mites a couple months ago. Just making sure they havenโ€™t come back and checking out her new leaves coming inโ€ฆ and then I saw this! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ is this a flower? Or the beginning of one, more like? Also, pet tax: Cody and #BuddyTheTurtle say hi! ๐Ÿข๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’• #CalatheaCrew #Calathea #CalatheaFreddie #HappyPlants #babevila #NewGrowth

@BabeVila - Yes maโ€™am! That is the start of their little petite white flowers!

Soooo with that being saidโ€ฆโ€ฆ..CONGRATULATIONS on a happy, healthy, BEAUTIFUL calathea ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ I canโ€™t wait to see it fully opened! They are so adorable!

And I NEED a Cody and a Buddy! I need a Buddy because turtles ๐Ÿข are my MOST ABSOLUTE FAVORITE and Buddy is always in the most perfect pose! Haha ๐Ÿ˜† I LOVE IT!
Then I need a Cody because he must be the MOST PRECIOUS pup Iโ€™d ever seen ๐Ÿฅฐ Heโ€™s a little, fuzzy, chunky, absolutely FREAKING ADORABLE little guy! He just looks like a lover! A soft sweetheart โค๏ธ
You got some GOOD ONES, thatโ€™s for sure ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

YOU GO GIRLFRIEND ๐Ÿ’•
Wow ๐Ÿคฉ look at that sweet little flower coming in! I canโ€™t wait to see what the bloom looks like!
@JenniferNoel - Do the blooms have a scent once opened?

Shannon. That picture of Cody - he is absolutely adorable. I already knew he was so cute - but that picture ๐Ÿฅน his precious little face!
@theloveofplants - Rachael, I apologize I never saw your question ๐Ÿ˜“

If they have a scent, itโ€™s very light because I never smelled one on mine! But Iโ€™ve also heard the spider plant flowers have a scent and again, I couldnโ€™t smell it if I wanted to ๐Ÿ˜“ They are definitely adorable though ๐Ÿฅฐ
@JenniferNoel -
No worries! ๐Ÿ˜‰ OoOooo I had no idea that spider plant flowers have a scent. I will have to smell them again when my spider plant produces new flowers. Why could you not smell them??
