Aloe, Aloe, my little Aloe's

Aloe juvenna


Photo's of all my Aloes now dug up & potted, ready for relocation.  A memory jogger, as I know I will forget which one is which & what it does once Im in the midst of gardening again.  The Chief keeps quietly reminding me "that we are not going to rush in & plant willy nilly are we?" but oh, it will be so so hard not to.

  1. What a nice collection of aloes. I am just getting into succulents. They are good value and so easy to propogate. Good way to keep track of their names.

  2. I thought there was only one, I had no idea there were so many varieties. x

  3. What an interesting variety. Not too many around here where I garden, unless you are a real afficianado. By the way, I love the Dinotopia series, read them to my boys when they were small. Sadly they have moved on to other interests.

  4. Nice aloe collection! Dorian Black has always been one of my favs, too bad they aren't so popular around here and quite hard to find. The one you aren't sure is an aloe or not might be a Gasteraloe, they hybridize Gasteria and Aloe often, check out some pictures and see if the leaf structure is similar.
