    Hello
    I bought this poor fellow on mark down and it looked to be on it's last legs. My son likes plants like this so I handed it over to him to try to revive. Anyone know what it is please? It is the one to the left of his orchid in the white pot that has leaning stems each side.
    Thank you
    Lori

    Nice plant Lori, it has character :) Perhaps it's some kind of Senecio? Not this blue one in the link but similar.

    Senecio

    Thank you @Selleri ! Holy smokes the price tag on the link says I got him a good deal. They were selling it off for $3. less than 2 of your pounds. He is a wizard with plants and it won't be long before he has it looking like the one in the link.
    Thanks again :)

    Good grief, I didn't even notice! £35! And look at their other selection, a plain Sansevieria for £49 :yikes:

    I'm sitting on a pot of gold apparently. "Mixed bulb basket" for £125... my bum.

      Exactly. The mixed deal sure looks like a possible nightmare!

      I checked with a local nursery who usually only supplies landscape companies and when I saw the price of many perennials (for zone 5) I decided I'd better get propagating as many from seed as possible. :blue thumb:

      Out of curiosity I even made a list of the ones that sprouted and put a $ notation on how much I saved if they survived. I think I'm up around the $300 mark right now so certainly was worth my time. :)
