CHLOROPHYTUM AMANIENSE

This is an atypical plant from the genus Chlorophytum, that consists mainly of the Spider Plants. This broad-leaved monocotyledonous plant has green leaves and orange leaf bases that makes it one of the more interesting plants to be grown in semi-shade conditions.

The Chlorophytum amaniense Engl. (synonym: C. amaniense 'Fire Flash', C. orchidantheroides; common name: Mandarin Plant, Fire Flash, Fire Glory, Orange Spider Plant; Family: Agavaceae) does not send out young plantlets, unlike the C. comosum, and thus cannot be propagated by the same means. Some links on the plant are shown below:

SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA (SILVER)

This is a silver variety of the Sansevieria trifasciata (common name: Mother's-in-Law Tongue, Snake Plant; Family: Agavaceae) planted at the Silver Garden.

The white flowers look inconspicuous and I would have missed it if I wasn't observant enough. Anyway, this plant does not like too much water, otherwise it would rot from the base up. 2 links are shown below for reference:
