A. rubrolineata's progress

I've put my Aloinopsis rubrolineata, the one with the thickened roots, back into the ground for now. While my other Aloinopsis plants only react to water but don't grow new leaves yet (summer rest?) this one is showing new growth. The newest leaves have grown larger and there's also something coming out of the side. What do you think - a new branch or a flower? :)
PS: There's a new page in my blog with seeds for sale. Please check it out some time. :)
