Hi: I think the nicknames for Sansevierias--Snake plant and Mother-in-law's tongue contribute to their lack of popularity. Both my interiorscaping and my floral id course have included these plants. An interiorscaper here in town has Black Gold and Black -- have to check notes can't remember other one. Has anyone heard of plants by these common names. I'd sure like to get a hold of a start of both those plants. They were gorgeous in the picture from some nursery that supplies plants wholesale to interiorscapers from FLORIDA! I've had a running debate with some local nursery owners. My premise is that if they don't offer the plants, we can't buy them. They complain that there is no market. How do we correct this situatiion? Diana Pederson SUITE101 Editor: http://www.suite101.com/topics/page.cfm/262 Home page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/1945/index.html
