Sansevieria kirkii var pulchra flowers are beginning to open and if they would only open all at the same time, this would be way beyond spectacular.  I took a tape measure tonight and held it just above the inflorescence and it measures 12 inches from flower tip to flower tip.  Now I completely understand why people go gaga over the flowering of this species.  The flowers open only for one day but there are many more to come.
