This aloe flower must be bending for more light. (135 of 365)
(edit) I have no idea what sort of aloe this is but it’s not aloe vera.

I love the drama of the dark background and the contrast of those delicate flowers.

Great. I love the contrast of the delicate pink against the dark background. I did not know that aloe plants had flowers.

I’ve had aloe plants for years and never had one flower!!! The one I now have was large enough, but it was in an accident the other day. The T-storm that lasted about 3 hours, knocked a larger plant over onto my aloe. Now it is all broken up. I’ll have to transplant it to another pot. What I’ll do is take the young plants and throw the broken one out. I’ve had that plant for over 6 years now. Hate to part with it.
This is a beautiful shot. Delicate blossoms. Love the colors and light.

How pretty! I never would have known what an aloe flower looked like. I like how the flowers are all in different stages of opening…

Beautiful Ellen. I love the colors, and it looks to me like they have the perfect amount of light.
