Aglaonema Flowers??

I think my homegirl Katharine has a flower!
It doesn’t look like a leaf, maybe I’m just crazy?
14ft to light, indirect
5” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 days ago
Hopefully! Sometimes the leaves are tricksters!!! πŸ’•
Flowers!

Reason why it looks like a leaf, the structure [called the spathe] surrounding the blooms [on a fleshy stalk called the spadix] is actually a modified leaf. This structure is a signature of aroids [although many other plants have similar features, namely the false leaf] and its really fascinating
Update: STILLLLL WAITINGGGGG but we’ve also popped a new leaf since my original post πŸ˜‚
Stilllllllllll waiting
