Now, the aloe is beginning to send up a long spear from the center which will eventually bloom for a few months. The yellow blossoms begin opening from the bottom and then each falls off just when the next one opens. Below is the spril 2008 photo and you can see a month into the blooming that half od the flowers were still hanging on. This reminds me of the grapette ground orchid which blooms the same way.

Here are the flower spears a month before they bloomed.
I did not know Aloe Vera blooms until recently my friend told me. Now I am seeing the picture here, how wonderful! Thanks! I have a Aloe Vera in a container for several years now. It has lots of pups, but have not seen the bloom yet. hmm, maybe I should plant it into the ground?
