As I was cutting these flowers I wondered if anyone would recognize them. I think this is weird. At this point, If I think something from my garden is weird that is saying something.
The title is a hint and here is another:
If your guess was Snake Plant, that is correct! The botanists have decided this is a Dracaena now, so this is D. trifasciata. These are considered invasive here and I throw them away by the wheelbarrow load. I read they flower when under stress and I suppose the dry weather is getting to them.
I see real serpents in the garden from time to time, usually black racers that eat all kinds of bad things. I estimate there are 100 linear feet of Snake Plant about 10 feet wide between me and my neighbor. I was astonished the first time I walked around the house and witnessed the world of Snake Plants – it stopped me in my tracks. House plants run amok.
A closer view:
This is a pretty flower and it has a nice fragrance. The foliage is from bromeliads, I think it accents the linearity of the flowers. Burgundy foliage is from Aechmea ‘burgundy’. The chartreuse foliage is from Aechmea blanchetiana ‘Lemonade’.
That’s all from my garden this Monday. Visit Cathy at RamblingintheGarden and follow the links to see more vases.

I was surprised how well houseplants did at my old house. I thought winter would kill them, but they came back. Did you get any snow?

Ha! I recognized them, initially, although I dismissed my hasty identification until you confirmed their identity.

Gosh, that’s astonishing, and of course I would never have guessed! And a fragrance too – what an asset, except for its thuggish tendencies!

I don’t know what surprised me more – the fact that your snake plants bloomed, or that Sansevieria are now classified as Dracaeana! I actually knew that the plants can bloom, although I’ve yet to see any do so here, but I hadn’t heard they’d been renamed. I wonder if the reclassification will stick – after adopting the Pyrethropsis genus to described Moroccan daisies, I discovered last year that they’re now Rhodanthemums again.
