You can get a bit of sporadic flowering on the odd culm, often stress-induced, in which case your boo will survive. As a newly planted specimen the recent hot weather might have provided the stress. Keep it well watered, they are very thirsty. Since we haven't heard of any widespread flowering, that's the most likely. You might want to cut the affected culm out.
