Aloë 'Blue Elf'. This plant is tough as nails. It will go into the front yard in the next couple of weeks together with a few cacti and two more Aloë.

Haworthiopsis attenuata with an unfortunately etiolated Haworthia emelyae v. major. I'm getting the etiolation under control. What surprises me a lot more is that this plant has survived.

Haworthia cuspidata var. cuspidata. Unfortunately a victim to etiolation but is recovering. It also features a variegated offshoot.

A green bird with a long tail perches on a branched inflorescence and probes the orange, tubular flowers with its long, slender beak.
A black bird with a red breast perches on a branched inflorescence and probes the orange, tubular flowers with its long, slender beak.
Pollination in Aloe (& kin) is typically by sunbirds perching on the inflorescences foraging for nectar. #Asphodelaceae

Photo of a scrambling mass of stems and leaves with some erect spikes of orange, tubular flowers.
The many-stemmed, shrubby or scrambling aloes, with unspotted, spirally arranged leaves and visible internodes, are now in Aloiampelos (“climbing #Aloe”). This is Aloiampelos cilaris cultivated at the Huntington Bot. Gard. in San Marino, California. #Asphodelaceae #TropicalBotany #botany 🌾🧪🌱

Collage of two photos. The left photo shows a cross-section through a branch from a juniper. More wood was deposited on the underside of the branch. The right photo shows a cut stub of a branch from the tree aloe. It too has more wood on the underside of the branch.
Has anyone studied the reaction “wood” in Aloidendron? On the left is compression wood in Juniperus virginiana (#Cupressaceae). On the right is something very similar in A. dichotomum. More studies of monocot wood anatomy, please! #Asphodelaceae #anatomy #botany 🌾🧪

Photo of the branches of a tree aloe. POV looking up into the crown and seeing the leaves silhouetted against the sky.
The spectacular tree aloes, cultivated to great effect in S. California, are now separate from Aloe & very appropriately called Aloidendron (“Aloe-tree”). Here’s Aloidendron dichotomum in San Diego. #Asphodelaceae #TropicalBotany #Aloe #botany 🌾🧪🌱

A low, flat rosette of short, spirally arranged leaves. The spirals are clearly visible.
A small aloe with distichous (2-ranked) leaves growing among gravel and rocks.
I love the interesting leaf arrangements in Aloe. They are typically spirally arranged & none shows it better than A. polyphylla (📷: John Dransfield). Occasionally they’re distichous, as in A. suprafoliata. #Aloe #Asphodelaceae #TropicalBotany #botany 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of an isolated plant with a tussock of grassy, floppy leaves. Several inflorescences are present with orange, tubular flowers.
Some #Aloe species grow intermixed with grasses & mimic their foliage. Their leaves are thin & flexible but still a bit succulent. This is Aloe cooperi. Without the flowers, it might easily be overlooked as “just a grass.” #Asphodelaceae #TropicalBotany #botany 🌾🧪🌱

Collage of two photos. The left panel shows a rosette aloe plant with several erect, unbranched spikes of flowers. Right panel shows a close-up of the dense spike of reddish brown flowers. Nectar pools in the flowers.
Aloe ranges from Tropical & s. Africa to Madagascar & Arabian Peninsula & nw. India. This is the gorgeous Aloe castanea from southern Africa. The epithet means “chestnut” & describes the unusual color of the nectar-rich flowers. #Asphodelaceae #TropicalBotany #Aloe #botany 🌾🧪🌱
