Default 2nd flag leaf on ice cream clump

Well, everything I had thought about bananas is now out the window!!!
My big potted ice cream banana--now another stem in the same pot is throwing a flag leaf. The first stalk still has 21 bananas on it that seem to be slowly plumping up.
What do you think about that?
Could it be because it fruited last year and I didn't disturb the clump at all?
I will get a picture on here asap of both stems.
first stem with bananas forming

second stem with flower bud --in same clump


picture of entire plant/clump in pot today

the ones that are blooming are the ones to the far right and now the one to the far left.
