Or maybe Viagra in my roottabs!:Angel:
The first picture is a very long shoot-y thing coming out of my Sword. It's not a leaf, so I am thinking it might be a flower? But, I read they only bloom when not totally aquatic. Any comments?
The second is my Anubias, just for kicks.

The third are the micro chain swords I got for a buck a piece at TFP, they aren't doing so hot, can't tell if they aren't growing, or if they are getting eaten as they do grow.

The last is my corkscrew val (also a buck a piece at TFP) and my madgascar Lace's new leaf.

The sword might be sending out a runner which will produce a baby sword plant.

My amazon sword has a similar flower. I can see that there is a flower on the end but I think it will not open until it reaches the surface. Looks just like yours. I can just peek a tiny bit of red in the flower bud.

Here's what it looked like a few days ago, it's a good 6" or so now.

It's a shoot and new plants will grow from it.
Here's a picture I found online. You can find Swords with runners and plantlets at Petco/Petsmart or other fish stores sometimes. My Swords have done this.
Do not cut the 'stick' until the plantlets are 3-4in tall and have a fair amount of roots. The stick/runner won't feed the plantlets after it is cut.
