Oh, you finally getting this great shot into PF!

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

I happened across them again and thought I best post them or it may be ages before I see them again. I am so slow. I am reorganizing my photos once again. I have thousands to enter. I have 7 drives of pictures. HELP!

Are you caught up?

Yep, I usually enter them within a day or two just to stay on top of it. It is time consuming especially because we add our names too. I have been entering only the best and dumping the rest, otherwise, as you know, it gets too full way too fast.

I love that plant. Do you happen to know where I can purchase it? I live on Long Island in New York and I can give the plant partial sun and shade. That's a great picture you have there. I bet it would look great cropped a little and framed.

You'd have to grow in in a HUGE pot and bring it inside, it's not hardy below zone 9, to 20° F.

Most can be found here in local nurseries in Calif. and in other warm western states nurseries.

Here's a great article that just came out today by By Geoff Stein (palmbob) on aloe hybrids.
