Beautifully captured. I have never seen aloe vera flower in real life before. So pretty. If you like to, please join us for "Seed Week" and share your experience with us.

I've noticed when I trim away the dead blossoms that the sap from the stems really can heal a scratch...almost overnight!!!

Beautiful flowers and the bees are super. You're very brave getting that close to them.

I'm glad I stopped by today. I don't know if aloe blooms here. I haven't had one bloom. Those blooms kind of remind me of those on mother of thousands plants.

I love your photos, and the bees are awesome!

The first photo makes me think the bees are having a party in there and they are all trying to fit! Verynice shots.
