Many of us don't have enough natural light during the winter. To help, use suppllementary lighting. I have more than 200 pots of succulents in the basement, under the lights. Approx. 100 are on the main floor - some on windowsills. But Ido have lights here for many too - there is very little sunshine during the long winter...there are number of blooming plants, including few different aloes.

Very nice I like the pastel colors🙂.

It’s Aloe time! My Aloes loved all that rain we recieved a few wks ago. 24 hours with no break set some records. My plants were very happy, but my dog was not. She’s an 1.5 yr old Irish Setter. So a day with no exercise is not an option. I had to walk her in a big car garage at the mall.

The rain does wonders to my plants. I wish I had before and after pics. Also woke up the Aeoniums.

How’s your Boojum tree I just noticed some green leaves on mine.

Thanks!.I'm over here in the eastbay,Hayward. I think the Hercules flowers are the only pics on the net.No matter how much i looked,didnt find any.So,even i was wondering what they were going to be like! My advice to anybody is if you want a branching tree Aloe-Hercules might be the hardiest.If you want a tree Euphorbia cactid,E abysinnica might be the hardiest of those and E.ammak the fastest growing(haven't tried E.ingens)and almost the same in cold hardyness.E.ingens could be best of all.A neighbor planted a 6" dish garden plant 5 or 6 years ago and its a very bushy 6' now. I didnt see a bit of damage from the freeze on it..and they have it in the middle of the front yard-no cover whatsoever. Global or urban or both warming has really added to the menu of tropicalia to be grown in the bay area. If it keeps us above 32..the sky's the limit..

Oh man, first the beautiful Aloes, then the Hummer? Enough to make me cry. By the way, those of you who think the bella is the best are wrong, wrong, wrong. Suprafolia has it all. The leaves are worthy of an ode, the flowers before they open inspire you to song. The blue overlapped, delicately edged floral scales stop you in mid thought. The flowers after they open are second in the Aloe universe only to A. praetoriensis. (The looks of the 2 species is very similar, but the supra has nicer foliage.) These are not opinions, but facts. ;) lzrddr, if I get a good pic of A. preatoriensis bloom, can i post it here? I don't want to dirty up your thread.

I was wondering about the flowers as well. The flowers on mine looked like typical Aloe flowers. Even the inflo was green before the flowers opened. Curious, indeed! The plant definitely looks like Aloe juvenna. Here's mine - blooming and suntanned. Maybe MINE has the wrong name!

I had to look really close at that Aloe maculata bloom, palmbob....I couldn't believe that aloe looked so much like a cycad. But the inflo was probably just photographed with one in the background. I can't believe I missed this thread. Thanks for the experience, kids!

Dave, I just realized you’re not the one with the Boojum tree, but Stan from Alameda is. Sorry for the confusion🙂.
