I agree, one can never have too much orange.

Oranges against oranges, all the shades of green, then topped off with a splash of blue …. wonderful!

Orange aloe bloom against that orange wall is beyond fabulous. I love it! I’m glad your aloes came through your recent cold snap. We have another few hard freezes to go before winter ends in Austin, and I hope my aloes will have similar success.

Germi, I cavorted amid the aloes at the San Diego Wild Animal Park’s South African succulent garden recently. Gasped when I turned around and saw, yes, a tomentose bloom! And not Aloe tomentosa, which is pale yellow-green. This one was pinkish-gray and looked dusted with frost or flour. I took way too many photos of it (check out my Facebook photo album for Jan 15). Lucky you, to be near the Huntington! I was there one Feb. Aloes as far as the eye can see, all eye-popping.
