I had noticed that the place itself has been dabbling in Sansevierias 
and Dracaenas. one of their Dracaenas i saw in the mid sixties in 
Roehr's nursery. Roehr's used to grow stock material in Puerto Rico 
and have VAST boatloads of propagating material shipped to them. I 
saw this brilliant chartreuse striped Dracaena, only three plants in 
their propagating area, and those three were not for sale. it was not 
until the mid eighties I saw plants of that kind of colouration. Of 
course the same variegation or colour aberration can pop up anywhere, 
any number of times. I suspect Florica has been fooling around with 
chemicals because wow suddenly they have several "new and different" 
Sansevierias popping up. And Dracaenas.

Roehr's was owned by Graff, who put out EXOTICA.
