Subject: [iris-photos] SPU:Strange Growth

I have never seen this on a spuria iris before.  Out of the old spent bloom stalk is growing a new rhizome, complete with a root about at least an inch long.  This is only one of 3 different plants this has happened to. 
 
I know that various century plants and onions do this, and the walking iris also is known for this, but it usually happens where there was a flower, as opposed to right off the side of a bloom stalk. 
 
Is this normal for spuria iris to do this? Does this happen with other irises? 
 
I've included a few photos, one with the flash on and two without...from both sides of the plant.
