    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.

    Beautiful shots... I wonder if the bees crawl up along the funnel to the base of the flower....

    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.
