Pink Aloe Plant in Davie, Florida

This pretty pink aloe plant, in our yard in Davie, Florida, is another low maintanance plant that seems to always be in bloom.[1. This plant was originally mentioned in my former blOg at davie.TV, in June 2005, when I was still the Mayor of Davie, FL. As you can see from the photos in this post, taken on July 17, 2010, our clump of aloe plants is still going strong.] All images here are fairly high resolution. Feel free to click on the photos for a closer look!

The Aloe plant is as useful as it is beautiful. The cactus like leaves have a gooey sap that’s good when applied to minor burns. Commercially it’s used in lots of stuff.

At right is another view of the pink aloe in our yard, zoomed out a bit.

Here is a photo of the whole plant. As with most aloe varieties, the flowers rise up from a stem in the center.

Finally, at right is a photo looking down at another plant of the same variety, before the flowers sprouted in the center.
