That's why mine bloomed at like a foot tall. I ended up cutting that one off and another stalk bloomed a couple of weeks later. My pot of laterita now has about 6 pstems coming up, with the tallest one being about 4', but no more blooms yet. I'm expecting to see a flag any day now. Last year my pot of laterita had up to 5 or 6 blooms on it at any one time. I wouldn't be surprised to see you get a bloom off of one of your pups late in the season.
