Love my fish bone cactus! Lately it has been sending up shoots. I think it might be preparing to blossom/flower. Can anyone confirm?

It’s hard to see from the photos. The flower stalk can be a short pineapple shape or on a longer asparagus appendage with a flower bud and petals at the tip similar to my queen of the night in the lower left. The variety determines the shape. It would be cool if it blooms.🪴🍀

These are very cool. No further progress on the part of my plant, but I remain hopeful. Thanks for your reply.
