You're probably right.  The variety of growth forms should make this
attractive to most plant people from the collector to the casual window
sill grower.  Though the collector may find the Sansevierias too easy to
grow.  Sometimes it seems that the difficult to grow things are the most in
demand.

> What Sansevierias do you have and which is your favourite?

My favorite is still S. schweinforthii. The long straight rodlike leaves
arranged in an s shape from the base still catche my eye.   It is one of
the first plants I bought from Many Singer in Northridge.  I stopped by for
a visit maybe 8 to 10 years ago and boy was I hooked.  It has been a
steadily growing habit since :-)  My list of species is below.  I have
added a few since I last updated my database.
