Visit to a Sans collection in Thailand

15 years ago

Last week I had welcomed two visitors from USA, Steve Hoppin: the president of

the Cryptanthus Society and Dr Larry Giroux: the editor of Cryptanthus Society Journal

While we were at east coast of Thailand, visiting to Bromeliad nurseries

we found an interesting Sans collection of Mr Bunlue,

the president of the Thai Sansevieria Club.

Bunlue and his wife, Supakorn with their fine Bromeliads collection.

Bunlue with his variegated Sans. 'Samurai' which was mutated in his house.

Sans. downsii which was variegated from leaf cutting in his house too.

One of Bunlue's hybrids.

Steve & Dr Larry were interested in nice Sans.

My friends enjoyed with his great collections.

Some nice 'Robusta' complex.

But I really love this one, I guess a variety of 'Baseball Bat'

which has very smooth and glossy leaf.

Hope you will enjoyed my trip.

Thanks for posting your photos Chanin. I always love your posts, they show so many beautiful plants from your country!

In the thirteenth photo, do you know what type of Sans. this is?

Very nice pictures as always, Stephania! And a good collection that is!

What are the plants with Mr Bunlue in the picture before the picture of the Sans. robusta?

Cheers,

Marlon.

I have two pathetic sans that I rescued from my boss's planter at work. I never was interested in them because they just sat there being boring, but I had disassembled the planter and had to do something with them, so I potted them separately and forgot about them.
One gave me a baby this spring and it is different from the mama plant. Instead of having yellow margins and being fairly thin stalked, it is wide with lighter green and white markings. I cut it off through the rhizome, I guess it is, and planted it on its own.
I checked into this forum just this morning to check on what soil is best for the sans and what did I see but Stephania's gorgeous pictures! Thank you! Now I know the potential of these incredible plants and am interested in knowing more.
Thank you for the inspiration, Stephania!

I'm just jealous. They are sure an inspiration me. Perhaps I need to give mine more water, and put pots of water in the greenhouse to incourage humidity. Norma
