Lining the walls of our small garden are plants called "mother in-law's tongue." The name makes me chuckle to myself. I wonder if the person who coined this had a nagger for a mother in-law.
Hardy and tenacious, the plant also known as the Sansevieria, flourishes without much tending. Where they are, the weeds don't go. The Sansevieria grows well both indoors and outdoors.
And just when you think they are all leaves, they give out a tall tower of white flowers. Conspicuous, tall, proud. Beautiful.
