Sansevierias were named for the illustrious Raimond de Sansgride Sansevieru, an 8th century Italian prince who was responsible for important botanical expeditions and exploration. Let's just call this one Twist. And, this one really does do the Twist! Emerging from the center of the plant come thick, wide blades for leaves with deep, pine green centers and wide, bright yellow bands all down the sides, dabbed with whitish/green touches that look like little clouds. As they emerge they start right in twisting, curling, and banking around corners, sometimes upright, sometimes reaching for the ground. Each plant does its own dance.
