Some Aloes starting to bloom

in our uncultivated land here on the estate. That orange strip is one of the walkways through the 30 hectares of open space with natural fijnbos vegetation. By spring it will all be green and flowering.

Lovely

[Peter Dulis]

interesting bloom

[Merrelyn]

It's an impressive plant. Are those spikes as nasty as they look?

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful colours. Aloes are amazing plants but the tips of their thick leaves are so dangerous especially when young children are around.

I didn’t know Aloe had flowers! They are beautiful and this is a terrific photo to show us

I like the different textures and colors.

Looks like a plant with some texture ! I like the orange spots in the green.

[summerfield]

those aloe plants are huge. i'd like to get hold of one leaf and it would last me a year, perhaps. very nice!

@merrelyn Those spikes are pretty nasty Merrelyn, you don't want to be too close ;-)
@blueberry1222 Unfortunately we don't have hummingbirds here in the western cape Krista, but the sunbirds love them :-)

@365karly1 @taffy There are +-600 different varieties here in africa, one more beautiful than the other :-)
