My Sansevieria parva has 2 bloom stalks - one in full bloom right now.

The other night, I could have sworn there was a hoya blooming somewhere.....and had forgotten that the Sans. had a couple of bloomstalks......followed my nose and *finally* figured it out, LOL!!

It smells just heavenly - very 'jasmine-esque' - but without the pungency.
Seems to me that it is only fragrant at night.

I'll get a photo within the next couple of days - had to take videos of both kids in 2 seperate plays and my camera's memory is full right now - and I can't delete the video 'til I show family on Thanksgiving.

Another small Sans. has a bloomstalk forming now, too!

How delightful, thank you! Mine hasn't bloomed for a few years. In fact, up until recently, I didn't know its' official name. Thanks for sharing... pod

My Sansevieria parva are just sending up bloom stalks now. They bloom this time every year as a result of short day length. This is one of the easiest, most rewarding and most fragrant of all houseplants I have ever grown.
