Yes what Andria said Velvet. I too had one of those years ago.

@TiarasOceanView Helen it is then cause she did have a sharp tongue at times. Not very often but just once in awhile she did.

We have quite of them in our garden. They get suckers and multiply. Some call it mother in law's tongue, snake plant but its botanical name is sansevieria

@velvet53 It grows in my garden all over the place but I have kept them there as they improve the air around. You can keep it indoors as it is an air purifier
Sansevieria is one of the best plants for clean indoor air. Easy to care for, the plant is perfect for people with allergies.

I am sure someone has already answered your question, Velvet, but just in case, that appears to be a Snake plant or Mother-in-Law's Tongue. (I have two varieties of that plant growing in my house.)
Were you aware that there can be some big differences in plants with the same name? (One of mine is about 5 feet tall. The other is less than 1 foot tall. Both have similar striping and coloring.)
One of my friends owns a Snake Plant that only grows to 4 inches tall. It's a really dark green plant and the stripes up the leaves are almost invisible.
When I was growing up my mom had a Snake Plant that had leaves almost 4 inches across. The leaves were about 1 1/2 feet tall. The coloring was a very pale green with a dark yellow stripe. (I have no idea which one of my siblings claimed it when mom passed away.)

@DaddyEvil I love plant too and was given two more this morning. I don't really have room for anymore but I won't pass them up. I was given a huge peace lily that is in bad shape. They had it outside and the heat did a number on it.
I will try to get a picture of my little snake plant and post it. It is so cute. I will head over and start viewing more of your posts. I don't think I caught the one of your outside plants.

@velvet53 It has been many years since I saw one of the tiny Snake Plants. (My mom passed away in 2002.) Whichever one of my siblings claimed mom's plants probably still has it. There weren't any of mom's plants that seemed important enough to me to fight my sibling for them. If I REALLY wanted plants like hers I could always buy them. (Most of my siblings consider purchasing plants a waste of money, but I don't!)
If you were not aware of it, I LOVE plants! I have gobs of indoor plants and a yard full of specimen plantings. I even have some that are not supposed to be able to survive in the Ozarks, but they are doing beautifully! 
I can't remember whether you found the discussion I wrote last year that was about my outside plants or not. Do you remember it? (If not, that is okay. I was just curious.)
