Some clones of Anubias flowers often, even under water. It is mostly Anubias barteri/nana
that does that. Many of the larger species need to have air leafs to do so.
Some clones stops flowering after a while in the aquarium. At the gartner they are cultivated emers
as this gives faster growth (faster money), and it is in its emers form that its most naturel for an Anubias
to flower. Takes a while before they realise they are under water when you buy it.
