Spider Plant

I just started working on a research paper about spider plants, Chlorophytum species, and was telling a gal in my class about how my spider plant hadn't made any little babies in like a year and a half or two years. When I got home I decided to check it out (it was closest to the window, behind some other plants) and I was wrong! It has definitely recovered from the mealybug infestation that claimed the life of some other plants and now has flowers and lots of little pups! I need to pay closer attention to my plants. Anyway, here are some pictures of my spider plant, a flower, some pups, the thick roots that are popping out of the soil...
