Sort of. I know it's a Snake Plant; I've had it for as long as I can remember. I don't even like snake plants but somehow this one reminds me of my grandmother, who had a bunch of them and who was always propagating them in little glasses of water all over the windowsills. But I digress...
These plants don't need sun or water and this one has been on the deck for a couple of months, getting some of both. You see that thing in the middle?? I have been watching it grow from the middle of the plant, and now it seems to be flowering. Any experts out there who can tell me if this is a teenage mutant plant?? It is weirding me out.

Over here in England we call these 'Mother-in-laws tongue' plants and I have never had one that flowers but my daughter has which I felt was most unfair as I've had mine longer! LOL

Like many tropical plants, mother-in-law plant, Sansevieria trifasciata, blooms when the roots are crowded
good advise I think
Always wanted one myself, still dont have one.

LOL - I knew I'd find some experts here! Thanks, everyone. I knew Sansevaria but had never heard Mother-in-law's tongue'. Being a mother-in-law myself, I'm not too sure I like that name. But now I know not to divide the plant or re-pot it. Cool.
These things grow wild, like weeds, out in the ditches in South Florida!
