Ah! Just as well you posted a pic, Sacha. That's not a keiki, but
another small flowering stem.


Begging your collective indulgences - what about these? Might they be
potential babies?

They are both at the top of old flowering stalks (cut down to about 5
inches last year). Below them on the old stalks, a new flowering branch
has been flowering prolifically this year.

Yes, new baby plants. Let them stay on the mother plant as long as possible
and then separate and pot up.
