That's super cool. I've wanted to see one of mine flower for years. Hasn't happened yet!

ZZ are basically a weird stem succulent aroid, and that isa sheathed aroid flower. Does it smell? Pot rootbound might be a trigger?

Robert, no smell. It’s is root bound. My experience with the succulents I’ve had flower is stress like being root bound is a factor.
