Ok! What Have I Got Here?
 
Well, I divided up these guys from 6 communal pots that have been hidden in the bushes for a few years and now have loads of them...but no id(ea) what they are, besides pretty cool! I think they are Sansevaria (or spelled something like that) but have no idea the real variety name. Anybody have a clue?

I don't think its a Sansieviera. Maybe another variety. Cause I never seen this type before. Only those flat yellow-edges green-center leaf types.

OK, found it!

Sansevieria pearsonii; also known as; Sansevieria desertii, a.k.a. Spiky mother-in-law's tongue.

Succulent perennial, up to 1 m, with a fan of hard, ribbed, cylindrical leaves, overlapping near the base. The leaves are spine-tipped at the apex. Inflorescence a tall raceme of pinkish-brown to blue-mauve flowers, usually opening at night.

Found it through the Kew Gardens site! Yes, they are very tough, no problems with the wind for them!

Thanks
