Well, although the Pf in front of my sans. names stands for Horst Pfennig,
i did not get this plant from him, but rather from a nursery friends of
his. and Horst did say, "the man is casual about labels, so use care and
reference things before you plut them on permanently unless you absolutely
recognise the plant!" I did not know that Horst had died, and have been
thinking of his as vry much alive. i have sme epipiphytic orchids which
grow on desert Euphorbias, and  a hybrid of two Madagascar orchids, which
he sent to me...as well as other Sansevierias and treats.
