Don't change anything, you have a very happy plant. You can remove anything that is brown, otherwise leave it alone. It should probably be repotted at some point, but read up on it first. Repotting an orchid is different than a house plant but not particularly hard. Get Ortho's All About Orchids book which is available at a lot of book stores and garden centers as well as Amazon. What is the orchid potted in? You should use the same material to repot. It will be either an orchid mix (bark pieces mostly) or sphagnum moss. Here is a link that might be useful: blog.backbulb.com

I have posted this in the Allium forum... Thank you

Music. Hardy, widely adapted, dependable, stores very well for a hardneck, large easy to use cloves, bulbs can get large, strong flavor (so easy to cook with). I still have some usable bulbs from last year's July/August harvest. VietNamese Red makes a nice, milder companion variety, but does not store as well; so does Siberian. I also like Japanese, also large cloves and seems to be also very dependable. Big robust plants, seems to be a bit earlier than Music. These all have the added feature of scapes for early summer cooking. Those are my favorites, but zone 8 suggests that the Creoles might be just what you would like, even though they are not so well adapted to my Minnesota garden.

Here are a few of my favorite Aloes... I had to stop at the letter 'H' as there were getting too many photos... can finish up some other day. Aloe aculeata Aloe alooides Aloe barberae (if you got the room) Aloe betsileensis Aloe broomii (this is variety tarkaensis, but the other variety is nice, too) Aloe cameronii (mine never get quite this red- I water them too much) Aloe capitata Aloe cryptopoda (var. wickensii) Aloe dichotomas in the landscape (this is one of my very favorite Aloes) Aloe excelsa Aloe fleurentiorum (if you like weird colored Aloes) Aloe framesii (this photo doesn't do them justice) Aloe globulogemma (if you like unique Aloe flowers) Aloe harlana (this is the real thing, not that A hemmingii sold everywhere as Aloe harlana) Aloe hereroensis
