pretty common in cultivation (often available at common nurseries)... not a great landscape plant unless you live in a strictly frost free climate... does better in shade than full sun

I have one of these -- and it is large. Fastest growing Sans I've ever had by a mile.

And here it is...

pretty nice... is that a reversion in the mix there, or another kind of Sansevieria?

[Gee.S]

Not sure, I had assumed the leaves darken as they age. No?

When I purchased a pot of S. Moonshine in 2019 that contained one big plant with probably two small off sets, the nursery guy told me that it is quite sensitive to frost. My house on a hill top usually stays couple of degrees cooler than Islamabad city, however, there is a strong wind at night most of the time. I planted my Moonshine in full sun without any cover and it turned out to be one of the best performers in my garden. It has multiplied exponentially and now I have many hundred plants, after having gifted dozens of them to my friends. It survives with virtually no care, watered by rains only or may be some spill over water from a neighbouring plant. Temperature in my area rarely goes below 30*F and Moonshine has performed very well so far. Now, I am in the process of removing most of my Moonshine plants from main areas and planting them along the boundary wall or such areas where nothing else grows.

I so envy your growing position!

Do you know the ID of the Aloe on image 8395 bottom right (spotted, slightly reddish tinged leaves)? I have a NOID Aloe that looks a lot like it...

This is what we call Aloe barbadensis or Aloe chinensis. This is the aloe that is commonly called Aloe vera in Asian market and most Aloe vera products that are sold in the market are made from this aloe. This one has orange flowers. For detailed discussion, please see viewtopic.php?t=12844
