Snake Plant, Mother's Tongue, African Bow String (Sanservieria hycinthoides)

1/24/11
     These are Sanservieria hycinthoides, also known as Snake Plants, or Mother's Tongue, or African Bow String Plants. Today in my quest to rid my property of exotic invasive plants I pulled out 123 of these African Bow Plants. Some broke off and may regrow, but you can see in the bottom picture I got most roots and all.

Update 3/13/2012
      Just a few of these Snake Plants have come up around my house. But I'll be pulling them out and burning them soon.

Air Potato Vine (Dioscorea bulbifera)

     I went with my friend Sara today to join in on the Great Air Potato Raid 2011. We went out with Seminole County and collected 111 Air Potatoes. We also collected some litter including a half full bottle of Vodka. In the picture Sara has the biggest Air Potato I've ever seen. Many people said they have found even bigger ones in other places.
    The organizers and volunteers both said they collected more last year. I take this as a good sign that the problem is getting better. Several organizations joined in with today's Air Potato raid.
