Her name is Shelly 2. (Shelly 1 met an all-too-early demise when we think someone poisoned her.) The wonderful news is that Shelly 2 is about to have a baby. Two in fact.
Shelly 2 is a Spider plant that I have from the office, now residing in our guest room as she wouldn’t get enough water with my limited office hours these days. She came from a parent plant that did quite well in its bright office corner but suddenly got stricken with something that ended up killing her. I saved a few plantlets in some water just in time to produce Shelly 2, who is now sending forth a couple of plantlets of her own. Even in this crazy state of the world, there is still hope to be found.
