My six-week-old pot plant is flowering already?! [View all]

I found a stray seed around the end of March, and just for fun, soaked it overnight then put it in a wet paper towel to germinate. It did, so I stuck it in a little pot -- too little, really, but I intended to move it if it took off. When it was about 12" tall, I pinched the top off so that it would branch out. I didn't get around to moving it to a bigger pot, so I'm pretty sure it's root-bound now and only 18" tall, but last week it started producing little flowers! Is that normal when stressed like that?
