[Sansevierias] comments on Olga's Sansevieria pictures

Hi Olga,
Since we just had a paralyzing snow here yesterday of 10-11 cm (Ha!) I stayed in and looked at all your excellent pictures. You have a very nice collection that I never would have thought could be found in Siberia! Below I have made brief comments on all of them. These are only my opinions. It is very hard to identify plants from pictures. Please ask any questions you might have as others in this group might have been wondering the same thing. Ha!

Yellow rosette- a highly variegated Golden Hahnii; does not appear to be a Futura type unless very young.

Moonshine mutant- possibly 'Moonshine' which is a Futura type of Sansevieria; I don't know why it was called a 'mutant'

hahnii 'splash' - possibly; the name 'Splash' is new to me

suffruticosa - looks OK; but plant is very young; it will get much bigger with stolons that grow new plants at the tips

stuckyi - maybe, hard to tell; stuckyi sends up very tall, cylindrical leaves up to 2m in length in native habitat.

Namibia - I don't know this name; can't otherwise identify

Trifasciata 'Slipped Stripes' - looks correct; correct name is 'Lilian True'

Dragon Wing - I don't know this name; can't otherwise identify

Fisheri - looks OK; shows a juvenile form and looks like it is showing its first mature leaf.

balyii 'Minnie' - looks ok, but I don't know what separates 'Minnie' from just plain ballyi'

Koko - if this is Koko (and it could be) it is a juvenile form

Trif. 'Frank Neidz' - this is a RARE trifasciata and it looks correct; correct name is S.t. 'Daria'

Lady Charm - I don't know this name; can't otherwise ientify

hahnii crested - correct

S. arborescens - no comment; I never had it; gets 2m tall in habitat!

S. hyacinthoides - no comment

kanlayensis or 'Stella' - the first name sounds wrong to me; I THINK 'Stella' is a hybrid plant; Google the name.

masoniana 2 tones - nice leaves; just called masoniana variegated

Franchisii - spelled Francisii; shows a young plant

pink hybrid - not a name, but no Sansevieria has pink stripes of which I am aware.

bandipur - possibly; no comment

black dragon - I don't know this name

pinguicula - agree

hallii 'pink bat' - possibly, but don't depend on seeing any true pink color - its more reddish brown; needs good sun to bring out color.

hahnii 'streaker' - definitely disagree; looks more like a 'Golden Hahnii' sort to me; Golden Hahnii sometimes has a 'coat of many colors'. I like your plant!

Kirkii v. pulchra 'Coppertone' - agree

hahnii jade dwarf marginated - agree

hahnii silver- agree

hahnii 'favorite - disagree; I would call it 'hahnii variegated'

S, patens - agree; shows a juvenile form

S. 'Samauri' - I don't know this plant; possibly a hybrid

Some of my plants' photos are in the "Olga's sans". The names are given by the suppliers, I'm sorry for the possible mistakes and will be grateful if you correct me.
