Thank you for the information Ava T-B! I will join the mission and add my spotting.
All Aloe growers want one of these, but they are notoriously hard to keep alive. This could go into the Aloes of Southern Africa mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9031...
I know--they are amazing!
this is such a great plant! i want one
Thank you GeoLeo42!
