I love sanseverias and was quite surprised when I saw my first bloom. Who knew ?! I will hope that your canna grows quickly so that I may ask for a tuber at one of next year's swaps. My pink canna died earlier this year. They seem to be less hardy than my others. Too bad you missed the cereus the night before. They are such perfect blossoms ! <br /><br />Stay cool.<br />pattyPattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980646848805011625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-71149830878806185682012-06-16T03:58:49.656-05:002012-06-16T03:58:49.656-05:00I've never grown Sanseveria - rather cruelly ...I've never grown Sanseveria - rather cruelly known in the UK as Mother-in-law's tongue) but I may see if I can locate a plant on our next trip to the big island!<br />I love the association of friends and plants - can't always remember the plant names but I always remember if a plant was a gift from a friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-54093510074950683352012-06-15T22:30:53.786-05:002012-06-15T22:30:53.786-05:00Wonderful photos and such a lovely collored canna!...Wonderful photos and such a lovely collored canna!

Sanseveria bloom when they a little more mature, and here in the tropics the flowers are quite a common sight on the older plants. I'm fortunate enough to have a clump of them and they often have flower spikes. The Night Cereus is just beautiful. That's a plant I'm not familiar with at all.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-40878622943607568592012-06-15T15:46:47.986-05:002012-06-15T15:46:47.986-05:00aloha,

It does need to be protected from winter frost. Last year I lost my "vine" and I was very very sad. And the 3rd is special for its own reason.....you actually got this plant to bloom! That doesn't happen often. Good for you! Great plants here as well.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-43481314365803416212012-06-15T10:34:57.460-05:002012-06-15T10:34:57.460-05:00Oh what a fun bloomday post!
