I sowed some of my own Aloe microstigma seeds a few months back in the hope that the seedlings will better acclimatise to the coastal conditions as the parents do not like it that much, they have really struggled, but a smaller locally bought plant is doing fairly well.

Another great blog LT!!!
I had the pleasure of observing Hump Back Whales whilst in Australia - it sure is an amazing site!
Love the meerkats too......they are used here for advertising a well known website....they catchphrase is.....''simples!''
The landscape looks to dry - yet there is lots there to see.
thanks for sharing
