Wow. Is your G. ragonesii growing offets, Jens? And I can't stop looking at Al's photo either - I don't think I've ever seen a Sansevieria in flower. It looks very impressive...

Just looking at the picture, I thought it was an Echinopsis flower, maybe subdenudata, but it's Chris, so surely it can't be. Working on the Sherlock Holmes principle that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth: it's definitely not an Adro, therefore, with inevitable logic, it must a Conophytum....
Hmmm....
I've reviewed the logic, can't see a flaw anywhere.
