About the subject. The plant was purchased by my parents at the 1964 New York World's Fair. That makes it a 57 year old house plant.

It flowers once a year (in January) and produces a single stalk of blooms that smell like you're inside an Egyptian perfume factory. It's a very strong fragrance. Luckily, I like the scent, but it is extremely strong. It's almost overwhelming, HOWEVER, since the scent is so pleasant, it's really not overwhelming. The experience is hard to describe. As the blooms start to fade, sap oozes from the plant keeping the perfume scent going strong.

Our house smells like the tropics tonight.

Note that ISO 16 Thousand was used. This not intended to be Award Winning photography, but it's a respectable Memory Shot showing the sap.
