I thought I’d post these three pictures to celebrate the Aloe’s which are now flowering in my garden. These pictures are from mid September 2004, not long prior to the big move. The Aloe Ferox and Aloe Plicatilis, Fan Aloe, both flower at the same time.

Our local extended family of Wattle birds absolutely love this Aloe Ferox. Seeing them feast on it is a magnificent sight.

Can you imagine moving this entire cacti garden across your backyard and then half of it back again nine months later? I think I’ve got a couple friends who have never returned out of fear that I’ll get them to help again!
