Sporadic blooms ...
Botanical name: Chlorophytum suffruticosum
Chlorophytum suffruticosum is a perennial caudiciform plant native to East and Central Africa. The linear leaves reach up to 37.5 cm long by 2.5 cm wide. The grass-like leaves sprout from the top of a succulent stem up to 30 cm in height and 4 cm thick. It is a strange looking plant with the stems rising from a flat, knobby looking tuber that grows at soil level. It is an easy plant to grow. The plant blooms sporadically throughout the year. The small, 3.2 cm white flowers are borne on up to 30 cm panicles. There are up to 25 flowers per panicle with blooms opening every few days. I took this photograph on 2nd January, 2012 in my native place while visiting a plant nursery.
