This little burmannii sprouted in one of my empty pots (it was a batch of seed that was in there for about a year) about 3 weeks ago.

I noticed and fed it about 3 fish pebbles over the past few weeks, and it now has a flower stalk. This surprised me as it is TINY. I previously thought the minimum flowering age was 2 months or so.

They'll flower for a number of reasons, impending death and an abundance of life are the main ones. Age is a factor, but not a huge one.
Make sure to keep it fed, and you might get some seeds from it to donate to the seed bank (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Yes yes. Of course. Absolutely. 100 percent. Bueno. Seed bank is first priority.
