Thank you everyone for the compliments. This plant has always flowered, each year at this time. I was so surprised to have three spikes, it is just loaded with flowers.
I remember the first year it bloomed for me I was sooo inpatient waiting for the spikes to grow, seemed to take forever. Now I just watch and anticipate the awesomeness. I wish I had a dozen!

My scolopendria surprised me by being fragrant so I am hopeful that this one will be so, too.

Thanks Leafmite! It has outdone itself this year, definitely. Sadly, I’ve never been able to detect more than a light sweetness fragrance. They are said to small like grape jelly.
I have two scolopendria, both have flowered though nothing like the fragrans. In fact one of them is flowering now with only 2 or 3 flowers.
I’ve often wondered how/when the fragrans multiplies? I’ve seen pictures of nice size clumps and I would love to grow this into a nice clump. Or a mount just covered in them, hmmm maybe I just need to purchase a few more!
The Schoenorchis fragrans was actually my first mini mini. The madness began at Andy’s
