Is someone trying to send you a message Beefy?

LOL, I am sure you are quite wise already! Was there a scientific name attached to this?

Here is Sansevieria cylnidrica or 'Skyline'

So it really is a Mother-in-law tongue! They make beautiful flower spikes.

very cool!

Swami Beefy is your new screen name! Should be begin to ask questions here.

Happy Birthday!

VERY interesting plant and blooms!!

Surprised some wiseguy didn't call it mother-in-law horns...

Here is Sansevieria cylindrica

yes thats it.

blooms?!

unforunately the pebbles that are in the tiny pot are glued in so i'm going to have to perform some surgery before she has babies.

i feel smarter already.

best, Swami

omg, so i google imaged this plant and some of the pictures are cracking me up!!

ron-did you see the one where they were all going in crazy directions and planted in a pot shaped like a woman head? totally looks like Medusa! lmao.

and some look creepy bending toward the light like freddy kruger claws.

maybe i should specialize in halloween plants.

 

[injunjoe]

Don't you just hate how they glue those darn rocks in?

I also found some cool pictures.

I think when you transplant it, you should go with a round pot.
I think round will let the shoots grow better before coming to the surface.

This is a easy one to grow, kind of like that oven deal, "set it and forget it" It sure don;t need much care or light.

I found a place to get some for a good price. I was going to post that yesterday but I did not want to spoil you present.
