Flowering Sansevieria

Post by Greenlarry »

First time I've seen flowers on a sans! Very star-like and with a slightly spicy fragrance, almost like sherbert!

Some sansevieria species are regular flowerers and yes, the perfume is very attractive.

It produces little drops of sweet nectar.
Also I discovered recently that they are now in Dracaena!
