I’ve never seen a mother-in-law’s tongue sprout a new leaf – it’s a strange sight – and quite beautiful!
Update: Mother-in-Law’s tongue
Sadly the ants have gnawed away at some of the buds, but it looks like the ones remaining are turning into leaves …
Is that not a flower rather than a new leaf? Be interesting to see…
Sons, I think you could be right.
It is strangely beautiful though Kirst …
Hmmm….I’m not convinced about it being a flower. I’ve never seen a flower on one of these plants, but I’ll take photographic evidence as it grows. Let’s wait and see…. 🙂
wow, that’s totally odd. i’ve also never seen a flower on mother in laws tongue, despite our garden being full of them. and yet it doesn’t really look like a leaf hey?
Shall we take some bets!!!
Please tell me i’ve won a free trip to your lovely country!!

Checked with local nursery & yep, it’s a flower spike.

I’ve just commented on your other submission… And someone from America had to confirm it for us. Thank you Kirstieraeofsun – and I wish we could offer you a free trip to our country…
I am batteling to get hold of this plant. Maybe there are newe types in the nursery – but the old ones – I can not manage to get hold of it.
Im in Kempton Park, South Africa
hi Anita. you should try to get a cutting from someone, that is what I did with my plant. they grow really easily. I would give you one if you came to Durban 🙂
