ColorChallenge WednesdayYellow - Aloe
I have an aloe plant on my balcony, but it is still smallish and didnt bloom. But I took some photos of a mother plant when it was in full bloom. Pretty spectacular, tall flowers.

I only post my own photos.
Wow, never seen it bloom! I have an aloe plant as well, I think its about 10 years old or more, but no extra shoots or flowers yet...
My mum has one too... very old and it never bloomed. She has different type than this, but they all bloom at some point. If it doesn't, means they are missing something. Here they grow outside in the gardens. So maybe the ones at homes simply don't like homes ;)
Inside it looks amazing fresh green and a few years ago I had it outside in the sun for only one day and it turned all brown, so I never did that again...
inside= indoors...
It probably wasn't used to the sun so got sunburn. Do you use the aloe gel?
No, I tasted it a few times, but it doesn't taste very good imo
I didn't try it. Once I had a huge old aloe in a pot and I had to renew it so I chopped it a bit. The smell was very bad! I wouldn't even put it on my hair..
Hahaha, I saved up some dried leaves to pulverize and maybe mix into smoothies... or into coconut oil to use as an ointment
It wont be stinky then?
I have never seen blooming aloe yet! Thanks for sharing these pictures. Aloe is very special and beautiful herb, I often use it .
Me pleasure :) Here they bloom a lot and for quite a long time.
How do you use it? I did cut the leaves once but to me they had very bad smell! I can't imagine putting that on my face or hair or drink it... bleehh :p
Aloe blooms??? Wow... I didn't know that!!! Very pretty too...
Yes yes... pretty tall blooms. They also come in red :D
So pretty and unusual... get the red ones too, if you can! :D
I think it's out of season now... and have to find where the red ones grow...
Doable :D
Will watch out for them... :))
Might take months ;)
Will wait... We not goin anywhere... :D
