Sanseveria (commonly known as snake plant or mother in law’s tongue) is a very popular house plant. I think this is probably because it is almost impossible to kill. (At least it is, in my world) I am an avid gardener, but tend to neglect house plants terribly.

I have this huge plant that my daughter gave me years ago, and recently it has bloomed…not once…but twice!!

A google search told me that it usually only blooms if it is extremely pot bound or dry from lack of water. (Both of those reasons definitely apply!)

The flowers are lacy and dainty, a sharp contrast to the broad, tough, spikey leaves.

    How odd to have a plant that blooms only when it is abused!

      Yes, it is! You would think it would be just the opposite, wouldn’t you!

      LOL I guess that’s where it got that nickname!

    Amazing that these plants bloom because of neglect. I learned that fact a few years ago. Mine has never bloomed but my sisters did.

    I didn’t even know they could bloom! They make lovely flowers.

      I didn’t know it either Julia, until I saw this one in bloom. The bloom lasts about a week.
