    Sansevieria erythraea, this is a slow grower for me, but has been dependable.

  • 11 years ago

    Barb they are looking great!!!! I need to get my variegated masonianas into bigger pots. Yours is outstanding!! All well grown!

  • 11 years ago

    Fantastic!

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks Woodnative, I really enjoy my sans. Here's a couple more, white parva on the left and yellow parva on the right.

  • 11 years ago

    pinguicula has jumped over into another pot. Lavranos ??? In smaller pot.

    Some form of bally.

  • 11 years ago

    This one is Coppertone, a very sturdy plant.

    Like those parvas!!! Lavaranos 23251

    Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

    Thanks, everyone. This is my favorite time of year for sans. They finally get to go outside and get some water and heat. Always fun to look for a new pup.

    Your Sans are so awesome! I'm super jealous. The only Sans I find where I am are the common trifasciatas, hahniis and the occasional cylindrical. I found some bantels sensations at one of my garden centres but they were too big for my liking. I like starting with small baby plants, 4in pots max. No fun for me in growing something that's already in an 8in pot. Just a personal thing. I've missed out on a few cool plants this way but suppose it also keeps the collection from getting too big too fast.

    Anyhoo, thanks for sharing. They look fantastic!

    Bunnygurl, I like small plants also I can have more of them, LOL!

    Barbmock, "Always fun to look for a new pup", YES Indeed!

    Thanks Bunny,. I agree, it is hard to find unusual plants locally, but sometimes they will turn up. Some of our GW members have been very generous and shared extra plants too. Some people order them from Ebay or even Thailand. I don't think I would reccomend it though. Shared plants are the very best.

  • 11 years ago

    I ordered 2 from Thailand several years ago. A pinguicula and a masoniana. The masoniana didn't survive - don't remember why - but the pinguicula did. I haven't ordered since as it's a fair bit of coin to order from Thailand so it hurts more when they don't make it.

    Bunny, has your ping started to grow? I just about gave up on mine doing anything. It sat for over a year before it grew at all. Then one day it put out two pups. Patience is a good thing.

  • 11 years ago

    Oh yes. My ping started growing soon after it arrived. I've had it for several years. It was just one rosette I guess one would call it with a couple leaves when I got it. That one has grown significantly and it had one pup which has put on some size too but it put up with a lot of neglect of the past 2-3 years when I had a lot going on so it hasn't done much since. It's hung in there but seems quite happy this summer in it's outside spot with just a bit more TLC. No new pups yet though. I think patience is as important as sun and a proper soil.

    Here it is a couple weeks ago in a 6in pot.

  • 11 years ago

    Really a nice plant, Bunny. Good growing! Sometimes a little neglect is a good thing.

  • 11 years ago

    Excellent! I was under the impression these were on the more difficult side to grow.

  • 11 years ago

    I don't think they are hard to grow, but can be very slow.

  • 11 years ago

    I've noticed mine seems to have spurts of growth in between much longer glacial moments of nothingness. My ping actually handled the neglect better than both my trifasciatas and both my hahniis (one of which didn't make it). It didn't deteriorate like the others, it just didn't do anything. Cylindrica didn't care either.

    barbmock - Your ping leaves seem to be darker, long, straighter and more compact than mine. I'm assuming this is a lighting issue or are there multiple versions of pings?

  • 11 years ago

    I think the pings are the same, I'll try to take a better picture.

  • 11 years ago

    Barbmock,

    As always, you did a fine job growing those plants. Always a joy seeing them. Well done.

    Maybe the ones that are so much harder to grow are really just the ones that are so much harder to forget about/neglect. Lol

  • 11 years ago

    Stush,. Thanks, good to hear from you. Some of my plants are just fine, but I did have some setbacks this spring. I put them outside in mid spring, and then we had some rain and coldsnaps. Had a few casualties.

  • 11 years ago

    Hey Stush, I hope you are feeling better these days.

    That early last frost got some of my 'maters, barb. I was like "it's okay, I'll bring them in at night if it gets too cold" warning to the wise (no one told me) if the low is expected to be 50, expect it to be 43 and bring your summer vegetables inside!

  • 11 years ago

    oops!

  • 11 years ago

    How are stush, fred, asleep and Barb doing today? Well, I hope!

    Barb, love your Sans; I'm just going to move in under your deck or something, you'll never notice I was there!

  • 11 years ago

    If you were under the deck yesterday evening, you might have been blown around a bit. We had one heck of a storm, electric poles were broken, trees down, and power outtages. It is beautiful today, hot and steamy, just what our plants love.

  • 11 years ago

    Glad you're okay. Is it the beginning of tropical storm season?

  • 11 years ago

    Georgia is a lot like Florida in the summer. Storms pop up in the afternoon quite often. Oh, what does this mean? Sans serif?

  • 11 years ago

    It is a font type and what my phone wants to correct it to when I type in "sans".

  • 11 years ago

    Oh that is funny, I was just feeling stupid.

  • 11 years ago

    You're not stupid, my phone is.

    being smart Alec, LOL
