Sanseveria going to flower

This is first time flowering.
The other unnamed succulent is also doing the same.

Hi Jane,

No Sansevieria in sight. In the first picture it is a Senecio and in the second it is a Cotyledon.

Thank you Diane. Should have known it was mislabelled! Rescued from Tesco. With several proper Sanseveria cylindrica which are not flowering. I think it should have red flower. Do you know if the Cotyledon could be Orbiculata? I will post when they flower. Thanks for putting me straight! Jane

Yes, the Senecio will have a red-orange 'shaving brush' type flower - mine are flowering at the moment. And yes, the Cotyledon is C. orbiculata.
