My mouth is watering!!!! Nice. Worth every penny.

Amazing... congrats on your purchase Nancy! :)

Wow! What a beauty!

Wow! Beautiful and huge!!

Very pretty, RoNin.

Akrrm.

Is it easy to grow? It has been in my house for 2 months.

RoNin Lo, I've only had it 3 weeks and so far it is fine. Hopefully it will be fine when I bring it inside when it gets colder.

I am planted in the house. I think they are growing very well. I have 13 Sansevieria

I usually keep mine in the house too. I put them on my front porch when the weather warms up in the middle of May. I bring them back in when the temperature outside is going to be below 50° at night

Stush, I have this plant. Can send you one, my friend. Msg me. And Nancy, gorgeous plants!

Thanks, I will.

Question - is 'Lauren' a cultivar of S.trifasciata or S.aubrytiana? I read the patent description and am thoroughly confused. The owners of the plant should know best which species does Lauren resemble :)

As far as I know, it is a S. trifasciata.

Just looked it up. Here's the info. It is a trifasciata.

Did you read the full text of the patent http://www.freepatentsonline.com/PP29489.pdf ? Last

page...

Of course You have no idea of what You are saying and writing about this cultivar. When I first read the Patent of 'Lauren' , was a bit surprised to see it comes as a mutation from 'Jaboa' (a stupid commercial name of S.aubrytiana) but was considered to be S.trifasciata. Despite of this sensational error, the Patent request was accepted. Then, two years later, its author regained his sobriety and changed the species name (You find the correction at the end of the Patent PDF). As the accompanying B/W photo in the Patent are so bad You barely realize they depict a Sans plant, I would be pleased to see an authentic plant of 'Lauren' (that is sourced direct from Florica Farm). Maybe this cultivar is still around in Europe, but, as it is common practice to change labels in order to avoid Patents, I have some plants with fancy names that could or couldn't be 'Lauren'.

Thanks Basia, I didn't read that far down and was surprised to see that it is a S. aubrytiana.

Roberto, was that insult directed to me?

Hey Stush, I read this too, and I don’t see any reference to aubrytiana, and ana I looked for it. didn’t find any pictures either. The texture of the leaf is very much like aubrytiana though. i don’t think it is a trifasciata.

Frosty.

Hi, Stush! I have no reason to insult You !!!! Why on earth??? I would better refine my English,....sorry! I must thank You for this forum, I sometimes come and exploit it in order to steal some of the new USA Patented Sans cultivars... And, thanks to one kind member, I now succeded in having 'Frozen' and 'Green Mermaid' in my collection. The patent of 'Lauren' is ridiculous : its author Marvin Glez Villegas apparently doesn't distinguish a Sans from a cabbage. I wrote him for some comment, but had no reply. I wrote to Florica Farms, too - same silence. Except for two or three original mutants, he re-describes old, well known cultivars .

For barbmock : try download the PDF.

In the description of the patent information, it is listed a trifasciata until the last page as stated that it is aubrytiana. So fast reading I mistakenly stated trifasciata. Thinking it is a larger version of Asahi. Which does look similar. The tip off should have been Jaboa' which I figured was just a wrong name being used again by a nursery.

Thank you Roberto for clearing that up.

I can add it to my 'Other' sanseveria list. Still it is a different and nice plant to own. It's leaves seem more uniform than my other trifasciata cousins.

Hey Stush,

Are you familiar with sansevieria moonshine variegated? I have only seen photos of the ones called Brazilian and black Brazilian.

I just want to say that I also have Sansevieria Yellowstone. Compared to Lauren, Yellowstone looks more like it could be a cultivar of jaboa/aubrytiana. Yellowstone has a stiff leaf and brown edge also has a mottled look.

Lauren in the back, Yellowstone in the front

Poetiquette, I did hear and saw Brazilian Moonshine. Loved the look and read up on it as it doesn't always pup true. Seems every generation later loosed it's unique quartiles. I would say it is a chemical reaction more than a new cultivar. But it could be for real. With the high price, I'm not going to take a chance.

Nancy, They look great. So glad you shared with me. Maybe I'll do a google search of Yellowstone to see what I can find out. I'm new to 'aubrytiana'.

Roberto Mangani, message me as to what your looking for. Some one here might have it.

Stush, the only information I found out about Yellowstone is that it has no patent.

Some one on Garden Association showed one and I left a message as to what family it is in. I don't expect an answer. I seen one post that showed it with S. jaboa but no mention as to what it is.

As Russ stated, you could always start a leaf and see what develops but who can wait another year? If you have to cut a leaf, it is a good idea.

There is a patent for Yellowstone

I have a pup that is all yellow from S. trifasciata. I was thinking of calling it 'Old Yella'. Don't know if name is taken or not and I don't have any means to patent it myself.

I will start a new post with that name.

Now that is beautiful, I'm yellow with envy. Are there more pups growing? I'm never sure about what I read. Yellowstone patent reads " mutation of Sansevieria Aubrytiana variety Sayuri". I'll take your description any day.

When I first got Yellowstone, I could not find a patent. Here it is, to add to the confusion, lol

Sansevieria Yellowstone

and

Sansevieria Lauren patent

Thanks for the info Nancy.

Looking up Sayuri, not so bad looking plant itself.

Stush, I always thought Sayuri was the same as Siam Silver or Manolin

Nancy,
I am really loving Yellowstone and Lauren. They would make nice additions to any collection. Thanks!

I looked up Sayuri too. Looks just like Siam Silver/ Tenzan to me too.

We are in agreement. Same thoughts I had but I figured in the 'aubrytiana' for Sayuri and 'hyacinthoides' for Siam Silver just be more of the same species??

Similarites also in guineensis variegated and aubrytiana Lauren. To me anyway.

Wish Russ would give his thoughts on this.

Chris??

Ordered Danish Crown, went to friends house and saw her Jaboa, same thing. I want to thank all of you for many years of inspiration. Followed your posts but never joined until now.

Call something a new name and then say how rare it is then charge 10 times more. It is upsetting that this is going on in Sanseveria. Like to old saying "There's nothing new under the sun". Don't know who said that. Maybe google does.

Can't protest that Lauren or Yellowstone is not a beautiful plant but it had been around. And of course I could be totally wrong about this.

These photos are Yellowstone an Aubrytiana and there is also a Lauren an Aubrytiana, when we applied for the Patent we mistakenly said the Lauren was a Trifasciata so it was corrected with the US Patent office, we developed the Lauren from the Jaboa and the Yellowstone from the SaYuri, Florica Farms.

@HU-903512206 Are you saying the picture in my original post is of Yellowstone not Lauren? How did it get on the market with the wrong name?

Thank you for clearing up the patent info. I also have the other plant, I guess I should switch the names.

Is 'Sayuri' an aubrytiana? AFAIK, it is identical with S.metallica 'Siam Silver'. So, @HU-903512206, your answer does not clear everything up - unfortunately.

Basia, Having both Siam Silver and Sayuri cult. of Yellowstone, they look similar but not the same. Siam Silver being of hyacinthoides and Yellowstone of aubrytiana, they show different growing characteristics. Yellowstone has more then the typical 3 leaves to a node. As many as 5 so far on mine.

Now to me, both Lauren and Yellowstone comes from the same aubrytiana stock and look similar to me.

Now there is some new 'Siam Silver' coming form overseas stock. They don't look like the same Siam Silver I have, I suspect they are the same Aubrytiana stock that they got confused on.

I agree that in photos Lauren and Yellowstone look very like, nearly identical (well, one is slightly more mottled). And that precisely is why I do not understand the claims of @HU-903512206, that one is aubrytiana cultivar (ok with me) and the other comes from 'Sayuri' - which is identical with 'Siam Silver', which in turn is the cultivar of S.metallica. Quite frankly, I should be delighted if the grower simply and honestly admitted that he does not know the parentage of his own cultivars. So far, every new explanation seems to complicate matters even more :)

To me, the original plant shown at the top, looks like my S. guineensis variegata (or as Bob Smoley would call it metallica variegata) that I used to have. The leaves are waxy feeling and floppy. That was sold to me as lauren.

The other plant I have, Yellowstone is very stiff, mottled looking leaves and also has that brown edge like aubrytiana. It makes more sense to me that Yellowstone came from that.

I had S. guinensis variegata. I can't grow this plant. Never gets more than 3 leaves to a node and I would lose one stock once another new one grew. Finally all died. These new cultivars are more stronger growing and produces up to 5 leaves to a node. From what I find, both Lauren and Yellowstone are aubrytiana cultivars. One from Sayuri line and other from Jaboa.

This photo is Sansevieria Yellowstone

@HU-903512206 I don't see your picture

Here's mine. Very small but growing.

It is growing a new pup right behind the label.

Yellow Stone a little beat from the sun and being outside but growing very well.

can anyone lemme know if Yellowstone or Lauren is rare ones. i wish to buy one , if anyone can advice plzz.

There are a lot listed on Etsy.

People like to add the word "Rare" to bring up the price. They been around a few years but I never heard of them before last year and right on this post.

Price is a little high but next year it will be a little lower. Can you wait? Sans grow slow and so I would say if you really like it, go for it.

Nancy got a good deal on a large pot growing very well.
