I have never notice swelling to indicate a flower is forming.

All my relatively mature plants look like that at the bottom. Here is a Namwah with a can of dog food for size comparison.

I have noticed swelling towards the top as the bud grows larger inside the p-stem though.

Cool It looks like it is trying to squash the sucker coming out.

The sucker is actually a Stuttgart Canna left over from the patch I just removed. Gonna have to get that out of there somehow!
