Author Garden: Any ideas?? Loveday Gardener Member # 11589 posted                       I've had these two plants for a little over a year now so I've figured out how to care for them, but I would love to have a name for them, a "real" name. I've provided two pictures for the first plant so that the shape and the markings can be seen. It reminds me of Mother-In-Law's Tongue or Sansevieria trifasciata except that it's cylindrical as opposed to the leaves being flat like the other plant. The other plant is adorable. I call it "lots of hearts".

The first one is a Sansevieria. I think those types are called Sansevieria cylindrical, not sure which one though. The second one looks like a Dischidia ruscifolia, but I am not 100% sure on that one. Plants: 215 | From: Upstate NY | Registered: Jul 2005  |  Seeded: 205.188.116.9 plantqueen Garden Pro!
