Aloe again!

Just after posting photos of my aloes for Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, I decided to pick up some things from the local drycleaners. On a nearby corner I noticed a lovely display of aloes outside Villanova College, and luckily I had my camera handy to capture the mid-winter colour.

I think these are all from the same Aloe Aloe collection as mine. I'm not sure of all the varieties, but I think there is almost certainly an Eric the Red, Big Red, Copper Showers and a Moonglow or two amongst them.

    1. I wish mine too! Maybe the elevated position helps these keep their roots nice and dry.

    1. There is a great range of sizes too, so they are really quite versatile in the garden. And those colours really add a bit of zing to the garden in winter when not much is flowering.
