Wouldn't you know that only a few days after that discussion, I actually saw a bloom on a dracaena fragrans. My husband and I were in a local Mexican restaurant Saturday. In the front window, just across from the cash register, was a corn plant with a long stem of buds in the top. I couldn't get over it. I didn't have my camera with me, but my son was in the vicinity today, and I asked him to stop in and get a few shots for me. As you can see, whoever is taking care of the plant has propped up the bloom with a stick. I'm guessing someone who works at the restaurant also takes care of the plant. They have my admiration for coaxing a bloom out of the plant. (The plant appears to enjoy good lighting close to a window with a northwest exposure.)
How about it? Have you ever seen a "corn plant" in bloom?
I have not been introduced to a Corn Plant until now, but that is a lot of blooms for any flower or plant. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou a have one dedicated son there! I like him!
If you look around in banks, restaurants, and other businesses, you will probably see various foliage plants, including those in the dracaena genus.
