It’s a flower! Honestly. I get them on an inherited clump of mine.
I’d cut it out, but you could leave it just to see.
Is it an old or large clump? That’s when it’s more likely to happen I think.

Thanks all will sort it out tomorrow it’s a clump I was given from a friend 3 years ago and gives plenty of stalks so don’t want to lose it. Fascinating though!
Be careful when you cut it to get close to the crown. When they start to develop fully the stem that carries the flower becomes hollow. It is a really good water trap to rot the crown. If you get them early (now you know what they are) the stem will usually still be solid.

Thanks will do, it’s been pretty dry here so maybe that was the issue. Will let you know how I get on.
