Chlorophytum cosmosum

I am very proud of this spider plant. It was a gift from my brother who rescued it from being thrown away at a grocery store. It was such a sad, neglected little plant and I fell in love with it immediately. I planted it in a nice pot, put that pot into a bird cage, and hung that birdcage in a south-facing window so it could get plenty of light and be out of reach of my plant-killing cat. It quickly began to thrive and eventually started flourishing. It was such an exciting moment to check on it every morning as the flowers started blooming. Several babies started growing from the flowering shoot, which are propagating in water on a shelf above my desk as I write this.
