Snake Plant aka Mother-in-law tongue blossoming. Is this unusual?

We have house plant called a snake plant or mother-in-law tongue. It is several yrs old. All of sudden it has a stalk of blossoms that came up and bloomed over just a couple of days. I've seen and been round plants of this type most of my life and never seen one that blossomed. Is it s unusual as I think it is? Does it need any special care? Will it make seeds?

Wow great pics thanks. Still wondering if the blooms lead to seeds. Your sites say it thrives on neglect and it certainly gets plenty of that.

I have had one of these plants for almost 8 years and have never got a blossom out of it. Whatever your doing you must be doing the right thing!
