It is perfectly normal for the plant to produce flowers, and under certain conditions, it just does. Some varieties are more prone to producing flowers; this is often the older, heirloom varieties. If the plant is stressed for some reason, either a too warm or a too cold start to the year, or experiences pest damage, it is also more prone to producing flowers.
