Woofie,
I am editing my post to reply to your comment that I apparently missed before. What's intersting about this 'Spider Plant' that I've observed is that the flower stalks get longer over time. Meaning, unlike the "shoots" that C. comosum that grow to a certain length and stop (at which point the baby forms), at the tip of each flower stalk on the 'Bichetii,' a flower blooms, dies, and the stem grows longer, only to produce another flower. The process repeats until the stems get long enough to stick out over the leaves. I hope that makes sense, I don't always have the best way of describing things.

JB,
Oh my... I have to confess, this forum is already enabling me! I wasn't aware that there were that many 'Spider Plant' cultivars. I have four cultivars and my MIL has a fifth one, but this is... Wow. ;)
