Sandra:

This is a small one...the trunk grow very tall on this Aloe.

I really do enjoy looking at your photos D

Marguerite:

Thanks! I'm sure in Perth there's plenty Aloe species growing.

Yorkshire:

Thanks! There's so many interesting winter blooming plants here in San Diego. Many of the spring blooming plants are blooming or starting to bloom now, too. :>)

Marguerite:

Do Aloe thraskii grow there? It's one of my favorite and it's one of the larger growing ones (but not taller than Aloe bainesii [barberae]).

Here's a pic:

Yes, you would love the gardens here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take photos in January when all the Aloes were in full bloom.
