Sansevieria pinguicula "Walking Sanseveria"

A Sansevieria pinguicula in my collection
     Discovered in Kenya in 1964, Sansevieria pinguicula is a rare and
interesting species that produces hard leaved rosettes up to 12 inches across. The leaves are thick and halfmoon shaped in cross section.
It's called the "Walking Sansevieria" because it offsets above ground and the offsets produce stilt like roots.
They look remarkeably like legs and give the appearance the offset is walking away from the Mother plant.
     I got this one from Home Depot last fall. It produced an offset in May complete with a pair of "legs"
that grew quite quickly. Below are more pictures of the offset and my attempt to layer it.
