New plants

10 years ago

I got the tall one (37") at Home D and the little one at a local nursery - both very reasonably priced to my surprise. The little one is marked Sansevieria patens but it's half the size of my other plant marked S. patens, and it's already blooming at this small size. Never mind the ID, I like it. For scale that's a quart mason jar and standard 14 oz. tin can.

Very nice looking plants and a bonus flower spike too. Patens comes in a few forms, it also has shorter leaves when it is young which throws a wrench in also.

Nice plants! Looks like a nice Coppertone peeking in from the side.

Very nice sans. I love your tall trifasciata, I have one and it's my favorite and 31 years old. Your Patens is very nice, good find. Mine has leaves that aren't stacked like that.
