This week was a lazy week. It's probably appropriate that I'm posting this late. Sometimes you have to take a moment to relax, soak in the good things of life and allow yourself to grow.

This is rare! I have had this plant for ten year and it has never bloomed. Apparently, this plant can go for decades without blooming! The plant has received very little water, in a high heat period, as we were gone. Results....blooms!!!

Sansevieria trifasciata, also called viper's bowstring hemp, snake plant, mother-in-law's tongue or Saint George's sword (in Brazil) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo. The NASA Clean Air Study found S. trifasciata has excellent air purification qualities, removing 4 of the 5 main toxins in the test. It is also one of the few plants which produce oxygen at night.
It is an evergreen perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 28–35 in long and 2.0–2.5 in wide. The specific epithet trifasciata means "three bundles".
It is commonly called the snake plant because of the shape of its leaves, or mother-in-law's tongue because of their sharpness. In China, it is known as hǔwěilán (虎尾兰, tiger's tail orchid). In Japan, it is called tiger's tail (とらのお). In Turkey it is known as Paşa Kılıcı (pasha sword). A yellow-tipped variant is associated with Oya, the female orisha of storms. In Africa, the plant is used as a protective charm against evil or bewitchment. In Nigeria it is commonly linked with Ogoun, the Orisha of war, and is used in rituals to remove the evil eye. In Brazil it is commonly known as espada de São Jorge (sword of Saint George) who by syncretism is also associated with Ogoun.
Like some other members of its genus, S. trifasciata yields bowstring hemp, a strong plant fiber once used to make bowstrings. It is now used predominantly as an ornamental plant, outdoors in warmer climates, and indoors as a houseplant in cooler climates. It is popular as a houseplant because it is tolerant of low light levels and irregular watering; during winter it needs only one watering every couple of months. It will rot if overwatered.
Biscayne Park, FL
I enjoy gardening. As I live in the Midwest in the USA, my plants go in during the winter. They are dormant in a basement window. About 90% of them make it until Spring, when they return outside.
This particular plant is a Sanservia. It is often called a snakeplant or Mother-in-laws Tongue. I am visiting my parents' home in Florida and it is growing beautifully outside. This plant rarely flowers and can go years without doing so. Usually, it flowers if it has undergone a stressful period. I would say these Sanservias were once under the shade of an oak tree. Once the dying oak was removed, they were more exposed to light and heat. They are also competing with some other ground cover. I guess that is why they have decided to flower - in their stressful state of mind!!! The flowers are beautiful and harmless to the plant's life and growth.

Replanting my Chinese Garden...
I moved my collection of old temples to new places and they're already resonating in the breeze. A cast iron bird bath became a watering hole for visiting birds who flapped their wings and splashed till they were almost too heavy to fly. Neighbors gave me plants,
I walked early morning with my dog Honey, picking up discards. One morning I was dragging a large cluster of bromeliads home… and my neighbor sang out, Oh, you’re walking your plant! New life, new color, new spaces enjoyed… newly.
After Albert's death, my yard became my comfort and solace. Pavers from an old patio someone discarded became a cascading waterfall with a miniature Chinese temple residing on top. The 5-foot Sansevieria swords dug up from my neighbor’s house stood like tall sentries beside a colorful broken-tile-topped concrete bench he left behind, with a magnificent freshly painted black Buddha head meditating on top.
My handyman Donald covered the barren ground with a stream of smoothly worn river rock. And, every discard I found magically fit in. Walking yellow Iris began producing clones that dropped to the ground and waved in the breeze. A small clump of Lemon Grass became a tall forest of fragrant herb for morning tea and tangy soups.
The magic of fantasy and imagination was everywhere in my bamboo enclosure. Tiny clusters of native groundcovers I dug in after rain soon covered the ground in a lush green, soft carpet under foot. That corner of our jungle yard was no longer sand and rock, no longer barren, but full of new life. And a stray Mama Kitty found her way here and had six kittens.

SN/NC: Sansevieria trifasciata or Sansevieria zeylanica, Asparagaceae,
Also called viper's bowstring hemp, snake plant, mother-in-law's tongue or Saint George's sword (in Brazil) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo.
It is an evergreen perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 70–90 centimetres (28–35 in) long and 5–6 centimetres (2.0–2.4 in) wide.
The specific epithet trifasciata means "three bundles".
A espada-de-são-jorge ou espada-de-santa-bárbara, também conhecida como língua-de-sogra, rabo-de-lagarto e sanseviéria, é uma planta herbácea de origem africana.
Além do seu uso ornamental, as espadas-de-são-jorge são também conhecidas como plantas de proteção contra o mau-olhado, devendo ser colocadas próximo à entrada das casas.
Nas Religiões afro-brasileiras, ela é também chamada de espada-de-ogum (quando tem coloração verde) ou espada-de-oxóssi (bicolor, com bordas amarelas). Esta folha sagrada é uma folha gún (excitante, "quente"), sempre presente nos rituais de sasanha e na realização de águas sagradas denominada de abô.
De acordo com pesquisa científica, sansevieria trifasciata: Limpa do ar benzeno, metanal (formol), tricloroetileno, xileno e tolueno. E produz oxigenio durante a noite.
I remember walking into the entrance ways of old homes in Richmond, Virgina as I was growing up. There were always pots of striped Snake Plants growing there, in next to no light. I never saw those half-starved creatures flower, but when I moved to Miami it was a whole new story.
In honor of those memories, I gathered up and dragged home Snake Plants a neighbor had thrown away and planted them in my new driveway, not knowing how quickly they would fill every available space and then send their carrot-like roots up and over the concrete making the driveway ever smaller each year.
Despite the effort they take to keep them in check, I am regularly rewarded with the beauty of their subtle delicate white flowers, filaments curling like tiny ribbons to proclaim the location of Snake Plant pollen to bees.
Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue
Sansevieria trifasciata
Florida Beauties -- Sansevieria trifasciata is commonly called "mother-in-law's tongue" or "snake plant". If cultivated properly, it will flower. But, it can go decades without flowering. Sometimes, it will flower when stressed or exposed to a drought. Flowers are sweet smelling! Enjoy!
Taken shortly after Waldo on a Snakeplant. The cage was due for a misting, so I figured I'd do it with the camera gear set up. One of two things usually happens when Waldo here gets misted, he either starts calling, Singing in the Rain, or he reacts to the movement and tries to 'eat' the water droplets as we see here.
Note that frogs don't drink through their mouths, they obtain moisture through their semi-permeable skin when they float in water or sit on damp surfaces. We get puffy wrinkly skin from sitting on a wet log too long, they are drinking through their derriere. Score one for frogs.
He was fed delicious crickets and a mealworm shortly after, in the usual 'Time for Grubs' model payment we have worked out:).
Lighting info:
-Sunpak 433d in small softbox camera right, white reflector camera left .
-Triggered with rf-602s
-Still inside his vivarium, but with the front door opened so no shooting through glass required.
Lighting regrets:
-Not having set up a back light on the left to kick off the water droplets more.
-Not loading up on ND filters to allow a full powered flash. This gives a long enough duration to get a bit of water streaking.
I caught JUST enough of my pink hair to prove it was me! Well, I looked a FRIGHT taking Ken for his procedure this morning, so this is ALL you get! LOL! :)

Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue
Sansevieria trifasciata
Inktober 2024 Challenge
29 Potted Plant
Another bit of red today.
I created a yard fence with a large potted plant sitting on the paved stones.
Permanent black marker laid over my pencil drawing. I then applied some watercolor.
Down to my last couple of pieces of Canson Mixed Media 154lb paper. This has been great paper for this challenge.
Nearly done!
The actual Inspiration for this pattern is a houseplant that I just now found out is called snakeplant. But when it's done it looks to me like something that might grow underwater. And because it uses a lot of auras, the Name is a combiantion of "coral" and "aura".
This is Dracaena trifasciata, known as mother-in-law's tongue, snake plant, Saint George's sword, et al. Until 2017 this plant was known as Sansevieria trifasciata, but molecular studies showed that it belongs in genus Dracaena.
What's rare about this specimen is that it is blooming. This plant belonged to my maternal grandmother, Hannah Smith Baughman, who died in 1962. The plant is probably about 90 years old. I know from my late cousin Bob, who had it for many years, that it has not bloomed since at least 1962. Apparently, the secret is that it needs to be stressed in order to bloom; root-bound and not too much water.

These are great plants. I really had no idea that they were so wonderful for cleaning the air! They are easy to grow. I take them outside and back in during our snowy winters. I keep them in a basement and hold back watering. They will rot if overwatered!
Sansevierias are one of the best plants when it comes to air purification. They filter out formaldehyde and nitrogen oxide. They do this at night time making them great plants for the bedroom. You can go to bed and this plant will clean the oxygen around you. Maybe this is the reason why it’s considered they’re considered to be good luck plants. Source: joyusgarden.com
Sansevieria Cylindrica, 9 braid, is one of the strangest plants I've seen in a nursery. It must take some time to braid aloes but they are eyecatching. Also called African Spear plant they can be braided or left to fan out.

When we moved house a few years a go, we accidentally left behind a huge sansevieria trifasciata, also known as snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue. I prefer the latter name :-) Anyway, at some point, me being the thoughtful husband bought a replacement that will grow over time. My daughter always one to out do me, bought the monster of a plan in the second shot. She had to put it on the floor of her Mini and strap it in. I don’t think it would fit in there any longer without the sunroof open. With that said, my mother-in-law never had an unkind word.
