    Wonderful plants, Norma! I only know the trifasciata and the pinguicola. Can you post the names of the others?

    Cheers,

    Marlon.

    There is one I can't even recognize. I will need to go back and see what I sent. I'm not good at IDing a picture even if they are my own plants, how many pictures may I send, I don't want to bore you all to death. Norma

    It would help the boredom considerably if you could, or would, identify your plants as you take the pictures; send them one or two at a time.

    1. S. 'Midnight Fountain'
    2. S. subspicata
    3. S. parva
    4. -
    5. S. pinguicula
    6. S. sulcata?
    7. S. trifasciata 'Lilian True'

    #4 S. canaliculata miniature form I grow it as a bonsai, and put it in a show this past year. The judges could not identify the plant. I'm not good at showing. Norma

    If I could figure out how to get the names on my pictures directly I wouldn't be asking for help. I want them to show up directly here on the forum, not tucked away someplace else. It's an excellent idea I can't do it. Thanks for the suggestion. Norma

    Thanks for showing your Sans, Norma. I really like the last one.

    'Lillian True' is right

    Your guesses are as good as mine. I'll try to do it better next time. Who wants to take a turn sending them to the forum. Norma

    The one with the flower is S. aubrytiana and the flower this year was huge, 5" across, and at least 1 ft long, now it is a mature plant, the flower had a wonderful perfume to it and kept my whole house smelling like a bunch of fresh Roses. Really you can't tell what they are going to look like until the plant matures, so when the leaves are mature, then you can name them. Don't any one fool you that they can name a young leaf. You need to see the whole plant, many go through 3 different stages of development just like we do. I work with experts, and they are the first to tell you that. The more they know the more humble they are. Norma

    Hi Norma,

    Nice pix, are they in your greenhouse or at the Huntington pls?

    I thought Lillian True was a variegate w/ white, this pix, the variegation looks very yellow, confusing?

    I never knew there were so many types of Sans! I thought I only knew of one type! Learn something new everyday! Thanks for the pics and the knowledge!!

    #4 is San. sp. aubrytiana, this past year it showed me 5 flower stems, about 5 " around covered with flowers. It was broght into the house, and perfumed my house for two weeks, opening a little at a time, that flower was 5" x l8" high. I did show a picuture #4 of a strance looking one. Well the next flowering was special. Now, those growths will not do that again, I will need to wait for new growth to get it to flower. The old growth will be given away, so it can go on a make new offsets for flowers. Thank you for posting my pictures. Any other volunteer to post the pictures for me? Norma

    Those are my plant Karen, I have over 225 at this time. I do not have the new hybrids, nor the newly discovered plants yet. Norma
