Author Garden: Wondering what kind of plant this is libertybelle Gardener Member # 9184 posted                       My grandmother recently got a plant that we have no idea what it is. She got it from her sister's house after her sister passed away. It is a medium sized plant with a thick Snake plant like leaves with spines along the edges. The leaves have gray mottling on them much like a Snake plant. There is a large pinky spiny blossom growing from the center of the plant. Any help identifying this plant would be greatly appreciated.

I'll take my camera and get a pic of it if no one knows what it is from the description. Mandy Plants: 9 | From: South Carolina | Registered: May 2006  |  Seeded: 24.181.52.105 ChristinaC Garden Pro!

Just a thought. * * * * Plants: 2202 | From: Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Seeded: 24.36.132.77 weezie13 Compost Queen!
