Orange Daisies With Baby Daisies Growing From the Deadheads

We have about 20 different orange and yellow daisies throughout our flower beds in so Cal. (from a packet of various wildflower seeds). Only one plant is producing five smaller flowers from the base of the dead flowers. Is this common? I couldn’t find any info.

While this is not common, it certainly isn’t rare. There is a name for this occurrence, but I can’t remember what it is! Sorry. Typically it happens on Echinacea.
