Aloe vera flowers. Formerly known as Aloe barbadensis, one of the ways Aloe vera can be identified is by the tightly packed bunches of yellow/green flowers they produce once mature. Their flowers set them apart from many other Aloe varieties, especially since yellow is less common than orange, red or pink for Aloe flowers.

aloe blooming season…more on their way

A few aloe hybrids. 1. NOID from a local nursery, 2. Supposedly ‘Doran Black’, but it’s from MCG and I don’t trust them, 3. Open pollinated hybrid from my yard that I grew from seed, 4. Cherry Bomb, a newish Kelly Griffin/Altman’s hybrid sold under the Star Aloe label and 5. A not very colorful Piranha. Hoping for some more interesting colors soon with cooler weather.

Trying to sell some of the bracelets and renfest trinkets i’ve made…only have a couple listed so far, but I have a lot more

Open pollinated Aloe hybrid I grew from seed, repotted today

Aloe rivierei is a shrubby, pink blooming species from Yemen. Taking this heat a lot better than some of my other Aloes!
