Hello!

Decided to continue the cataloguing business since I hadn't finished it yet...

This plant was given to me by my mother when I was 15 or 16 years old. It has died a few times, only to be resurrected by some loving girlfriend, or later, my to-be wife. This plant is a super hero who just keeps coming back no matter how dead it looks.

Sansevieria

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/2.5
Exposure: 1/125 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

My mom never told me what plant it was, other than its Finnish name; Apenkieli. It translates to father-in-law's tongue. Anopinkieli (Mother-in-law's tongue) is much more common, and in fact, googling "Apenkieli" didn't give me any meaningful results, only one article pondering how it's "so problematic" that plant names are so sexist and unequal, listing "anopinkieli" with some other feminine plant names. The click-bait title of the post read "Anopinkieli vai apenkieli?", as if to make the case that there isn't a masculine name for a plant.

Anyway... Took me a while to write this.

See you again with other photos!

Edit: Vera found something called "Anopinhammas" ("Mother-in-law's tooth", Sansevieria trifasciata hahnii) that looks very similar to this plant.
