Thank you, Herm. This leaf had a bad place somewhere along its loooong length and it was going to have to be trimmed anyway. My pot if this hybrid plant is want to produce normal green growths every so often which is irksome. It wouldn't take much for me to excise this plant from my collection. ----- Original Message -----From: Hermine Stover <[email protected]>To: [email protected], [email protected]: Fri, 18 Oct 2013 20:34:26 -0000 (UTC)Subject: [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.
