I know it may be problematic or not possible for that matter, I just thought I would try it. There is a picture (I tried to paste a link below) of what is reputed to be plicatilis crossed with bainesii and I think it is a terrific looking plant. I dont know enough about hybridizing to know if that is something that is possible by using natural techniques or if that is something that is created in the lab or something. I am generally not into aloe hybrids but I am attracted to the aloe tree crosses. The tree aloes are right up there with my favorite plants and I cant help but to be interested in the hybrids for the attractiveness and more rapid growth tendencies. Jordi, that is impressive after 10 years and starting from such a small seedling. Dont you also have pillansii in the ground over there? Are they pushing out leaves right now and how are they doing with all this rain? I have three small pillansii seedlings in pots in the window and I am waiting for it to warm up a bit before I move them out to more of a small greenhouse situation. They are sending up tiny new leaves right now and I dont want to mess that up. I am in Spring Valley so we are pretty close and I am encouraged by your success with pillansii as I would love to put mine in the ground when they are ready. Here is a link that might be useful:

Sandy, I just posted about the same thing. I should look at the posts before posting. Check my post above yours. You'll see where another product was tested at 9.8 out of 10.0 and StriVectin-SD at 9.0.

I have a Mac and don't use the camera software or iPhoto. I use the cable connection and turn on my camera (an old Olympus 4.1 megapixel) to the "view" mode and in icon of the media storage pops up on my desktop. Doing this should also launch iPhoto on your Mac. I use Photoshop for image editing so I just shut it down.

Yes, the mom has paid support, not on time or in full most times but after they attached last years income tax, we are now up to date. It is a small amount, we pay for health insurance. She is responsible for very little. We had custody of the 3 children, 1 is moved out on her own, she is in her 20's, the other is going to college here but will transfer to the new state. So, the last one is the youngest minor. SD has not said alot about the move, it has been a well kept secret. She did say that she wants to experience life and see different places. SD is very well adjusted, well liked at school and a top honor student. But she is close to her mom and I would imagine that she feels very very torn about this. I would like DH to talk to her when it actually becomes a reality and tell her that 2 years will fly by and she can apply to colleges there. this may sound petty, but I hope their house doesn't sell before the fall so SD will not have to make a decision. She has made it very clear to us that if this does not happen in the next 5 months and the move happens during the summer, she will not move if she starts her junior year, she will finish her jr and sr year here. That would pretty much solve this whole mess. Bio's DH will not make more money, he will be closing the doors to his business and I guess find a job/business to go to. Bio mom will work 20 hrs a week I assume and attend this program. She has attended 3 schools in 5 years and has not gotten very far, she flunks many of her classes so I have no hopes that she will actually complete this process. I don't know, I am a rambling kind of mood today. I think this is a selfish decision to make at this point. This education could be attained here and she could wait until her youngest is 18 and go where ever she pleases, she is causing a tremendous amount of unhevel and there is no home, job, family she is going to... just the acceptance into a community college? Who does that? And don't drag your kids along, wait until you are settled yourself. Who is going to support them and my SD? Our child support? Beginning to look that way. We will subpeona her payroll records if this actually happens and our arguement will be that she is leaving a good paying job, so we should not have to pay more because of that.
