Jeffrey

I've become a aloeholic and it's largely your fault. Thanks!

Jeffrey! I live in Ontario! I can't leave my plants outside. Oh, I'm doomed to kill aloes forever. I know it. The aloes know it. It's just all so sad.

sigh.

Shelly

Nice!!
Any chance you have two of those to make some seeds???

I too have become an aloeholic since Jeffrey (and others) started posting pictures. Such beauty, such variety, such puppiferousness!

Shelly, don't despair. I can only put my aloes out from late May until early October, if I'm lucky. I've had Marlotthii (sp?) indoors for 3 winters, with the best light I can give it, (south window) and water every couple of weeks. (I know one cannot generalize about a watering schedule--suffice it to say that I let it dry out then stay that way for a while before watering again.) I've had eight other aloes (one Juvenna and one Variegata, six NOIDs) for about seven months, and they've seemed quite happy indoors this winter with pretty much the same treatment. They seem to adapt to the indoors in winter/outdoors in summer life much better than some other succulents, like Echeverias, which stretch out and look like hell.

Jeff,

You always knock my socks off!

You know, I prattled on and on there without mentioned what a gorgeous plant that is.

That Aloe is positively stunning.

Jeff - incredible plant!
randy/karen - me too!
Denise - lol!

"Your Honor, I would like to officially recommend Jeff be charged with intentional Aloe neglect. At least some I have are acquired that way, his are GROWN that way."
"Mr. Borrego, are you insinuating Jeff is not properly caring for his aloes? How can you argue with the results?"
"Your Honor, I can not."

Jeff, that is one beautiful aloe. So nicely grown. Thanks for sharing!!

Dear Randy,

Welcome to the fold/cult/appreciation society - there's plenty of room.

Dear Shelly,

Abandon ye not hope.

Dear Peyton,

No, I don't - just clones of the same plant, not the best material for botanical diversity.

Dear Karen,

You prattle wonderfully (let no one say otherwise) and your aloeicious wisdom flows like the Orange River in floodtime.

Dear Denise,

Oh my! I'm glad Remo isn't too jealous.

Dear Jo,

Thanks!

Dear Borrego,

In my defense, I cater to my adoring public's desires, for without them, what am I?

Dear Dawn,

Thanks, but really, I had very little to do with it.

That is one red Aloe,cool!
