Cindi,
Yes, it is proliferation when a flower grows from another flower.
It is a genetic trait common in some zonals and occasionally in a
dwarf. It is not harmful. If you do not like it, simply remove the
flower. As far as if you can start a plant from it, I have never tried
it. I occasionally get it on the dwarf stellar 'Helen Christine' and
may have on a few other plants, but can't remember. And, 'Helen
Christine' only does it occasionally. I have been informed that the
bird's egg zonal 'Mrs. J.J. Knight' does this also, but do not have that
plant.
