Though these images are not of Aloe vera
it still contains the same soothing quality for burns and scrapes. The
flowers are filled with nectar drawing hummingbirds to its graceful
flowers.
This
particular Aloe plant has been in a container and with our
family/company since we began in Paradise, CA 8 years ago. Traveling
down to San Luis Obispo, CA and back up to the Sacramento Valley doesn't
seem to have harmed it a bit. Keeping this container plant healthy
with organic fertilizers and compost as well as transplanting him into
larger containers has been very important to this long lived and useful
plant!
