                That is a first for me ... I have never seen one in bloom! Amazing.

                  I've never had them flower before either. I'll take a close up as they are a nice delicate flower.

                    That's brilliant, I saw one flowering many years ago but mine have never done so.

                      Is it scented, mostly after dark?
                      I had one flower once and it appeared to be, to me.
                      I was told flowering is a sign of you neglecting to water them.

                            I thought sansevieria needed to be kept really dry anyway?

                              @JWK where do you keep it, in light or shade ? Mine is in quite a shady corner and I'm wondering if it is too dark for it there :scratch:

                                It's on a north facing window sill, it never gets any sun. It's a cold place especially behind the curtains overnight during winter.
