[Sansevierias] Re: camera fun

I was given some of this by the Florida botanical gardens in which 
there is a collection of not all that much Sansevieria, by a 
gentleman who came to visit when I lived in Tustin. Remarkable that 
this hybrid produced a variegated child, back in the days when you 
had to wait for nature to give you variegation and not some CHEMICALS.

You do grow your plants very well and I was a tiny bit upset to see 
the sacrifice of such a lovely leaf, so that we might be educated. 
Thank you Mike.
