It's beautiful, I've never seen one in bloom before. My mom always kept a jar of fresh aloe for sunburns/burns...I don't see it much here. Love the building behind it too :)
Here,In the Hispanic neighborhoods you can buy the leaves,and use the liquid to smooth your skin and the hair,but I had never seen the flowers A big splash of red in mid January..I take it!!!
Same here: I have never seen an aloe bloom and did not realise that they did! This is a particularly well shaped example. Lovely colours to the blooms.
I had no idea until recently that there were so many different types of aloe and that many have beautiful blooms. Funny how when you discover something it seems to pop up again and again ... this is the third time in as many weeks.
This aloe species* is the most common african succulent plant around here, allways blooming in winter.

I didn't even realize that aloe has blooms — they're gorgeous! That color is amazing.

Beautiful!!
I have seen aloe in bloom at first time.
I had thought it as just health plant.
So it must be warm or rather warm all the time in your town. Wonderful. I'm so fed up with winter.
This is a beautiful plant with wonderful red flowers. I love it.
Lucky man to live where you live! (Will you travel soon again?)
Great to have beautiful flowers like this blooming in the midst of winter.
Love those! Look like Knifophia but its an Aloe - very interesting.
Stunning red blooms.
Beautiful...strange shape...
What a grand specimen. I love this plant. We have them in Southern California and they are in bloom as well.
Wow, that red on pink is spectacular!
Spectacular!

We have a similar plant around here that blooms in early spring, they call it a fire cracker.
