I think there's probably been about 10 flowers in total. It's a shame they don't stay for longer but it's been lovely to see them!

If you leave them on the plant they do the coolest thing - eventually they dry out and pop poen and fling seeds several feet.

Mine is putting out a second vine at the moment. It's so nice to see! My peace lily was making me feel like a bad plant-parent.

I've heard that about peace lily's! I've never tried one myself though.

A fun fact I learned a while back:

In Spanish, the spider plant is also called the "Mala Madre" plant or "Bad Mother" plant because they throw their babies out!
