Hope you don't mind if I add a few Sansevieria photos to your thread?

Just a plain ol' Sans...

The color is a bit dull on this one after a winter out of the bright sun.

This Sansevieria moonshine had a black widow spider living in the pot. I am careful not to put my finger in to test the moisture level.



This Sansevieria cylindrica is a monster. Some of the spears are 36" long.

The roots of S. cylindrica are old and rootbound.

This is a S. cylindrica which was commonly marketed as S. skyline.

It is a pretty Sans but suffered some damage in the GH last winter. I never did find a varmint to blame it on but some of the outer surface was removed.

The Sans cylindrica skyline has lines running the length of the stem but the stem is smooth.

Whereas the old S. cylindrica has ribs that run the length of the stem.

This interesting NOID sans was shared by another gardener.

It has sharp tips and I have to be careful where I hang it or it could take an eye out.

This is Sansevieria francisii. Again very sharp tips and small in stature.


Thumb of 2012-02-07/pod/618dc9

This one is Sans parva or Kenya hyacinth.


Thumb of 2012-02-07/pod/08a276

It blooms freely every winter and made me think of this thread. Kristi
