Very colorful and perfect for the holiday season!

I had to clean up the snow from my chilled aloes, no way they are flowering now, I think...

I can tell you love these spiky plants ... they amaze me with the variety of their blooms.

They really do look delightful.

Beautiful photos. I can't imagine something blooming in December, I've never lived anywhere like that.

these are just beautiful. i've seen the first one around here, but not the second one. i wonder if they grow around these parts.

Both desert delights are great, but the first is so appropriate for this festive season. ;-)

Amazing JM. Well Yucca blooms here but not the others unless in a conservatory. Does the Agave die after blooming? Love 'em all. MB

Lois said...

Those pictures certainly make me feel warm!

We have aloe, yucca and agave here, but I've never seen them bloom like this!
