Robert the first photo is a keiki and since it is the second is probably also. Dens have a tendancy to flower or produce keikis, not usually both at the same time. Usually flowers first and keikis second.

I was in New Orleans this weekend. Your heavy rains have started and the plant can go outdoors in fairly heavy light. You can easily put it under any tree and watch it grow. It is past flowering season although many dens will flower more than once a year. You can hope for flowers again in the late fall.

As many keikis as you have it means the plant was stressed over fertililzed with nitrogen or both. Fortunately it is not important to the health of the plant, it just means it did not flower this year.

Leave it out in the rains and fertilize heavy (teaspoon per gallon of balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer every week). Reduce the fertilizer around September to about once a month and you should have flowers in early winter or spring.
