Are these flower spikes?

This is a pic of another one of those Dens I bought at Lowe's a while ago. This one is Den Judiana. Are these flower spikes trying to peek out? Or is it wishful thinking?

It's Dend. season all over the south now and it definitely looks like a spike to me orchid_girl. All of my older Dends (4) have just bloomed. Take that wishful thinking back and save it for another wish.

The bit on the left looks like it could be a spike. The "nub" on the right, looks to be the apex of the cane.

I have to agree with Kevin in that it could be a cane starting. I have several
that started like that only to have a keiki grow from it. I also have a couple
that have been peeking out that have stayed like that for 2 years without
doing anything. However, that is where the flower spike would start.

I did not mean it was a new cane starting, as I said I believe it to be the apex (terminal tip) of the mature cane. I think the bump on the left very well could be a flower spike. Fingers crossed.

I hope so because this one had no old blooms on it when I bought it and I don't think it has ever bloomed either.

I never venture a guess this early because my subconscience sooo wants it to be a spike so that is what I see.
