Aloe vera splendour

I’m a succulent-lover 
 

As Winter slowly approaches (Autumn is definitely in the early-morning air and leaves are also slowly starting to flutter down), the Aloes will now start flowering all over the world, even during summer in Europe and the USA. Their internal clock is set to ‘Winter South Africa’, which is actually from May to July, but this Aloe vera has decided that it’s cool enough in the mornings to start wearing her Winter finery.

Most Aloes are indigenous to South Africa and I do think that Aloe vera, well-known for its medicinal properties, is one of the better-known of all Aloe species.
