Java fern. Some questions

That sounds nice
 
This sounds really odd to me. My java fern rhizome is buried in the gravel in my tank, and it grew like mad. NOW it's blooming - right outta the tank. Bloom is almost 4" long itself. Yes there are leaves that die off, but others are new growth as well. We did but ferts in the gravel as well, and the tank is across from our patio doors in location. (One thing i recommend - use them in TALL tanks - the leaves on mine reach halfway across my 22g tank already. We have guppies and otos in that tank for fish, along with a variety of other plants.

You sure you have java fern??
 
is it java fern?

THat's what i was TOLD it was, when buying. Looking that up - pic-wise next to double check. Bloom starts out as a small cone type then expands as it blooms. Tiny white flowers on it.
