Aloe Species

I've grown what I was told was this species for about 4-5 years. The leaves on my plant are much broader, and it does not change color in...Read More winter.

Red flowers come up in February here in Southern California. After blooming one sees only a long stalk covered with little bulbils, or plantlets, which I am guessing the plant got its name for. From Madagascar.
