Mother-In-Laws Tongue likes to be neglected. Let your plant get root bound, a little dry and under fertilized. If mildy and continually stressed for a long enough period of time, you may be rewarded with a tall flower stalk of small white blooms. Blooming is extremely rare so be patient and neglect away. I've heard the same. That mother-in-law tongues (aka snake plant) thrive on neglect. I've also heard that chewing a piece can paralize the vocal cords. "Hence the name"

To get nectar from a flower, a hummingbird first inserts its long bill and/or tongue into the blossom. Its specially adapted tongue is folded into paired troughs or partial tubes and draws nectar into its mouth by capillary action. Hummingbirds also eat large quantities of insects and other invertebrates, tree sap, the honeydew from aphids and scale insects, and occasionally fruit juices as well as flower nectar.

Large, brightly coloured, may have additional markings in UV that we cannot see but insects can. The flower may be very deep so only insects with the correct tongue length can get to their nectar, and their pollen is only transferred to flowers of their own species.
