The focus here is on Aloe vanbalenii in front and
Aloe barberae (tree aloe) to the right just behind the stump.
The daisies are blooming it is winter - 20007 (that is June-July).
June 2010 and the rain season started at least 2 months
ago. The aloes are washed shiny clean from the summer's
dust.
Interesting how the one Aloe vanbalenii plant grew way
faster than the two on the side and Aloe barberae the
tree aloe in the middle, more than doubled in size.
The smaller type aloes in the background are not in the
picture any more, they have reached their maximum size
long ago.
Special about Aloe vanbalenii is the color changing in
the leaves when it is grown "hard". That is a lot of summer
sun and very little water.
Special about Aloe barbarae - it is a tree.

Oh, these are such beautiful aloes!!! The red one is awesome! I really love the tree aloe too...I need one of those here!!! Great to see the changes over the years!
You have wonderful aloes! I have one small one in a pot and it seems to be doing well. I have some native ones in my yard though, like the Century plant- I think it is an aloe like one in your picture.
Hi Dee, Aloes do well in pots.
The Century plant is agave not at all related to aloe. They are wonderful plants in the service of mankind too.
I am very impressed by the Aloe tree and colour change of the plants.
Should plant some in pots.
Thank you for posting your pictures!

Being my profession, I have also seen many, many beautiful aloe gardens. I have to say, yours is the most spactacular and most beautiful of all. I wish I could be there in person.
