They certainly do brighten a gray day. I saw them on my sidebar and came right over!

Wonderful, you just brightened a cold evening! I love aloes, have some arborensis, variegata and ferox, but my flowers never last that long.

This would brighten up any color of day! Gorgeous!

Just delightful, Jose. I imagine just the one in a home garden would look under-whelming, but out in a park, mass-planted, they lift the soul.

Jim said...

They would certainly brighten up a grey day. :)

Similar to the orange "red hot pokers" we see in old gardens here. Lovely shot.
