Aloe
Aloe sp.
(AL-oh)
There are over 400 species of
Aloe ranging from miniatures to 40 foot tall trees. They are popular for both
landscaping and pot cultivation. All species are native to Africa but have
spread around the world now. These are actually Aloe buds and they open up and
little yellow flowers protrude from the ends. I was wondering why I have so
many Aloe photos and then realized that they bloom in the winter, which is the
only time I get to go to their tropical habitat.
We are in the process of
installing a big vegetable garden for someone right now. There are lot of
angles in the beds so they miters are tricky but I am happy to be doing it. The
owner has wanted one for many years and this is the year it finally gets built.
Too bad about the heat wave we are having but we are muddling through. Building
something is always fun and exciting and this project is no different.

Aloe blooms are a favorite of the Hummers too..it is very hot to be building anything outside.
Mitering....why we took algebra, geometry, trig. I hope it's going well. The aloe is beautiful.
