| Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii' |
Scientific name: Sansevieria trifasciata
Common name: Mother-in-law tongue
Origin: West Africa
The Mother-in-law tongue is "a herb with stiffly erect strap-shaped leaves, best known by its variegated forms. 'Laurentii' has yellow margins and was first found in Zaire. 'Hahnii' is a dwarf non-variegated form. 'Golden Hahnii' is a dwarf variegated form. Most varieties will thrive in full or partial sun but 'Golden Hahnii' prefers a sheltered environment. Propagate by division or leaf cuttings". (My usual reference)
In my little garden, I have the 'Laurentii' and the 'Hahnii', the former in a container and the latter in little containers and on the ground. I do like these 'tongues', not because they 'sindir' mothers-in-law (not all but only those horrible ones from hell of course), but because of their beautiful nearly 'structural' forms.

The weather in July is mostly cloudy, but hot, hot, hot with smog! Not very much rain falls, and even when it does, its only light drizzles. The temperature both day and night average about 33 degrees C. And we in Selangor have our water problems again. Ces't la vie.
