Oh, it's a houseplant! (I just responded to your first post, the one where the photo didn't attach). This looks like the ornamental "corn" plant--

Thank you for the identification. Can you offer any suggestions on what conditions caused the plant to bloom for the first time in such a long period? Is such a long period normal?

as a kid my mom had a potted cactus that was atleast 40 years old her grandma had given it to her. It was a small simple looking round cactus. One day it bloomed, (it didnt set seed, I guess it needed a friend to pollinate with) very soon after it bloomed it died. I always thought that was so bizarre.
