Dracaena Fragrans
Martha from the Plowing Through Life (Martha) blog identified this plant for me.
It is very fragrant, almost too fragrant. It started making holes in its own leaves by dripping a sticky liquid from its blossoms.

Gracious! I think I might break off the blossom stalks and dispose of them :)
ReplyDeleteI will.
DeleteWow, that must be corrosive stuff!
ReplyDeleteI almost did something dumb. I was going to touch the liquid to see if it would burn!
DeleteHoly moly...I've never seen that before. But then, none of these plants have ever flowered for me. I'd cut the blossoms and get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteIn the morning I'll do that.
Deletethats why I don't choose to have them, I doubt I could help a plant
ReplyDeleteBe careful handling the blossoms. It seems that rubber gloves might be wise.
ReplyDeleteI'll do that.
DeleteI expect all the goodness has gone into the flowers so hence the plant itself is fighting to be good.
ReplyDeleteWow that is some plant!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing such unique beauty of nature ,looks lovely .
ReplyDeletei want to smell it's fragrance as you mentioned it so nicely
I'm not very good with houseplants.
ReplyDeleteI'm better with cut flowers in a vase.
All the best Jan
