I replanted Sansevieria a while ago. I wonder why they are also called Mother-in-Law’s tongue. How have they earned that name?
Put them in full sun at the moment but will use them indoors later. A few years ago, one of my cousins gave me a whole pot of this plant and they are now everywhere in the garden. I love their sturdy leaves, they easy to grow too and need little watering. thew are low maintenance, so to speak.
Some years back, I found this lovely book about gardening. How to maintain a garden, practical techniques for successful growing and so many lovely photos on each page. I just love it. Sometimes, growing perennials is easier than growing annuals.
Good thing I kept this baller which I wore during the 2016 election. Mar Roxas on the go. Will be campaigning for him online. He is number one on my list of senators for the coming 2019 election.

I had a Mother-in-Law’s tongue from my brother’s wife. Years after her early death from cancer, I gave her daughters plants descended from that first one. They were very pleased to have something alive that had come from her. Despite my black thumb, I’ve never killed these plants.

That’s nice Anne. There are other varieties, these are dwarf plants though.

I think it is because mother-in-laws are traditionally assumed to be nagging, and talking a lot. They are also notoriously hard to please. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
