Hi, welcome to GoY, I assume you're aking about Cordyline australis, the flowers are usually produced on mature trees, so if yours is producing a flower stem you're lucky, if it is a flower stem, it won't produce another Cordyline, what it may produce, after the flowers, are white or blue tinted berries, which may contain seed, which you can sow in spring next year at 61f, Derek.

Derrek. doesn't Norman mean normal shoots from the base?

Hi Sue, it didn't sound that way to me, but I could be wrong, Derek.

Maybe he'll come back and confirm one or t'other

Hi Sue, having just re-read this, I think you may be right, I just read strong stem, and what was assumed to be flowers coming out of the middle, which is where the flower stem would appear, but it could mean the middle of the 'trunk' and not the leaves, so we need confirmation, Derek.
