Happy Day! My Snake Plant Is Blooming.

A wonderful neighbor,who's no longer with us, gave me this snake plant for Christmas many years ago. I looked at it the other day and thought I saw a weed coming up in the pot.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that the snake plant was producing a bloom.
I never knew these plants bloomed.
It's quite a lovely bloom.
And if you look closely, you'll see little droplets of nectar. According to information Marilyn, of FoodiesUntie, sent me, the flowers are "nocturnally fragrant." And yes, I can attest to that fact. This morning when I sniffed, there was no perceptible odor. Now, there's a very delicate, light, sweet fragrance.
