Mother in Laws Tongue

I've had this plant around 20 years, only the second time its flowered!, the flowers do open much better in the evening so maybe moth pollinated in the wild.

I didn't know they flowered either till that first time, this was a division from my Mums plant she'd had it as long as I can remember and hers never flowered, must thrive on neglect ;-)
