Mammoth Blooming Aloe!!


Look what caused me to break-neck gawk, swerve and turn around the car as I was leaving my mother's neighborhood the other day! (don't worry mom - I'm exaggerating!).... A ginormous aloe plant full of blooms - beautiful tall graceful salmon-pink colored flowers! Lovely! My mom has a large patch of huge aloe in her yard, but the flowers are yellow. Later in the week I took my grandmother around the corner in the car to see it and her eyes lit up.... You see, the women in this family all think alike - "hmmm, when can we come back at night to get a snipping for my yard??" HA! It hasn't happened yet, but it will... besides, this batch is overgrown on the swail (sp?) grass strip along the street, so it's up for grabs right? :) I need me some thick gloves and a partner in cri..... err... nature sharing! Ah yes, the boyfriend... strong arms... check! Can I get him to do it?? hehe
