Some Sansevieria pics.....

Hey, folks!

I know that these are common varieties, but I tend to take pics when I visit nurseries.

I only have one Sansevieria myself, a 'Bantel's Sensation' (like the narrow variety in the first image).

Anyhow, I thought you might enjoy perusing them....

    I actually recognized two of them, what is the dark leaf one up in front. Is that a Sansevieria? Norma

    I think the dark leafed plant is called a Dyckia.

    Josh, are those Sansevieria Trifasciata Black Futura 'Goldedge' in the above picture on either side of the one Norma asked you about? And the silver leafed one in the center??

    Hey, Stush, I'm not sure!
    I'll check the labels next time I'm in town.

    To all, There is no common plants, just common people. What some call common, I say 'Where'. Even my Sansevieria Trifasciata i love. I see them for sale cheap and still stare and look them over. I'm hooked. BTW Josh, thanks for sharing.

    Of course I meant common as in 'commonly available' and often seen.
    I was hoping to head off anyone who might drop in just to say that these varieties are common.
    Regardless, I think they have a nice structural look.

    Some of those snootier folks seem to be away from here of late.

    Those of us who love Sans (I think I can say) got the message that you meant these are fairly commonly available, but lovely all the same.

    Sure thing Josh,

    I've been looking around these recent threads to find where you asked me about the plant rescues I'd mentioned in another post. You'd asked if they're large & I'd meant to answer, No, really they're not large. I can't allow that as I live in an apartment (not a house, no outdoors to give them). I save the larger rescues for Sans. (not Euph) I've got some lovely tall & very slender ones I've got to post pix of, they're taller than the length of forearms.

    (a while later I realize it was a Euph milii discussion).

    Anyway, I hope to share more pix of the rescues, tall slender & green & darker green banding, handsome & elegant.

    Howdy!
    Yes, it was the Euphorbia discussion.
    I do hope you'll share pics of all, Euph. and Sans. alike :-)

    Josh,
    Going through some of the older threads I noticed that you have a pic of our famous Sans. Bantel's sensation. Nice... Not sure if you know or not but the sans. In the 1st pic in the front left side kind of like a pale green, do you know the name of that spieces ?

    Boy are these posts moving slowly lately or is it just me, I noticed someone posted saying, where is everybody ?

    Hey, Greg!

    That 'Bantel's Sensation' is a nice one, isn't it?

    I can't recall the variety off the top o' my head....but the pale Sans. *could* be Silver Queen...?
    Or moonshine? I really don't know.

    This Forum is always slow...but especially at this time of year. If you want to see slow,
    check out the Balcony Gardening Forum....you'll have a whole new appreciation for the
    pace of the Sansevieria Forum.

    Hey Josh I've seen those sans. before at the store had it in my hand and then placed it back never even looking at the name of it, but that will be one of my next purchases for sure.
    Hey I just read that we might need some special eagle powers to pull this contest off, I didn't realize how tuff this was going to be did you?
    Your still in right?

    Your not kidding this site moves slow I was starting to think everyone retired.

    As the weather improves, the pace'll pick up for sure.

    I'm all in. If I fail, it won't be the first plant I haven't been able to root.
