I don't have many
Sansevieria in my collection. For some reason this was a banner year for the plants that I do have. I think I just have five plants and three of them have bloomed!
I already wrote about one
blooming in February. Then at the end of May I noticed that another of my
Sansevieria was blooming. This one was purchased from Lowe's (I think) with a generic "Sansevieria" tag on it, so it is unlikely that it is a species. The flowers smell like ripe bananas.

At the same time I was pulling down that plant to take some photos of the flowers I realized that another of my
Sansevieria was spiking. This last one was a plant I purchased at the Oklahoma Cacti and Succulent show last year,
Sansevieria kirkii.

This species has incredibly thick and sturdy leaves.
They could just about be used in a sword fight and stand up to the beating of a metal blade.
