It is or was Sansevieria cylindrica that has been dipped in paint. However, those deep ridges running up the whole plant indicate that the plant might be totally dried out and dead, nearly deadly, or wishing it was dead. That's what those plants look like when they are extremely wilted.

Mmmm - watch out you don't get arrested taking snaps through people's windows ......

Certainly looks like a silly novelty plant to me too.

oh, I have mothers tounge and another sanseveria

and really why would they paint it? it's about as useless as a dipped flake!haha

More useless than a dipped flake - at least that gives you extra chocolate.

no, they kept the weights the same! cheating us and charging an extra 10-30p just for a chocolate coating haha!

Oh - I haven't bought one for years. I'm not keeping up with confectionery trends ;-)

"dead, nearly deadly, or wishing it was dead"

I LOL'd

This thread is so funny...thanks for the laughs. My question is, if you have the nerve to take a picture through somebody's window, why not just knock on the door and ask to see the plant up close and personal?

Out of curiosity, I Googled for a bit and came across something that might explain the "plant" in question but I don't have the nerve to click on any of the links. ;-)

Here is a link that might be useful: Sansevieria cylindrica Velvet Touchz

oh my how funny! I did knock no one in.

and thank you for the link.

Good grief, how bizarre. I did go check out the Velvet Touchz you mentioned Tulsarose and for sure this is one of them. They're coming from a breeder in the Nederlands, and there are many pictures of them on the web, but no explanation how or why. LOL. I found amaryllis bulbs with explanations that they can be gifted with this coating and are WATERLESS. That they bloom just sitting there. Perhaps that's why this poor plant is dessicated.
