Asparagus fern (sic) is a *desert* plant? Who'd've thunk it? And
what's this about "flowering"?

I had a very old and very very potbound one (as in the rootball forcing itself
about 2 inches above the top of the pot) that flowered occasionally. It got
little white flowers that looked like lily of the valley and had a strong funky
smell sort of like coconut.

Live and learn. :-) Obviously the flowers aren't why people grow this
fern-looking plant. I've killed a number of them, but some were quite
decorative (no blossoms) before I made mistakes.
