[Sansevierias] RE: comments on Olga's Sansevieria pictures

Hello Mike,
 thank you for the comments. I corrected the names but not all of them - half of the photos I don't see for some reason.
 You are quite right: many of my plants are very young and the juvenile forms do not look like mature ones.
 Besides, many plants are of Thai origin, and the strange names might have been given by their local nurseries and have nothing in common with the real botanical names. 
 Again, I appreciate your help because I prefer to know the real names of my plants.
 And WOW - I'm happy to know that there is a rare sansevieria in my collection! So unexpected and pleasant )
 As for the Pink hybrid - it was promised to have pink stripes on the leaves )) no stripes so far, but the plant is also very young, I wonder what it may look like.
 As for the S. ballyi minnie, I suppose it is a dwarf form of S. ballyi. I have S.ballyi too and will make a photo of them together to compare.
 As for the small yellow rosette - it is very young indeed, my younger son occasionally broke my S. tr. futura var. leaf tip and I planted it into soil. I've added "the mother" picture into the album. 
 Is it true that such highly variegated pups are not viable?
  
 Regards,
 Olga

 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!
 Mike
 
 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.
