Hi Esther, No offset on mine yet. I am hoping it will make one this summer. There is a small plant in the pot too, but it is a completely separate plant. This one will keep making more leaves for years and eventually trail . It would be good in a hanging basket. It needs to be out of the way though, I don't want to bump into it!

Hi Lisa- my Louise Darzens here is not that shade of pink; it is usually dead white with green tinges. The Aussie photos at HMF do look similar, but they might not have the same rose? Or just different growing conditions... 'Blanche Lafitte', perhaps? Honestly, my first thought was that it looked like 'Baltimore Belle'', but I guess if it were a climber, Kim would have said so? Waiting to see more info, Virginia

"There are hundreds of species of Aloe. IDK why anybody thinks hybrids are necessary. It seems like more than enough to collect the species." Yeah, I don't get it either. My collection had included more Agave species so wanted to expand to Aloe (other than Aloe vera), and don't see the infinite Agave hybrids that are commonplace among Aloes, so guessing that Aloes just hybridize readily, but not sure.

Yeah it would be the oak actually, the habit photo shows Quercus-like branching. Otherwise I thought bracts were being shown without fruits attached. Instead of fallen leaves.
