<TABLE border=0 width="90%"><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>A very generous person graciously sent me this plant last fall/winter and I overwintered it inside. This spring it went out into my new xeriscape beds out front and has done nicely. Just noticed today when I was out working in the yard, it is starting to bloom. Just wanted to see who else has grown this aloe and how it has done for you. I am pushing the limits with this one, but several sites list it as a 7b plant. A couple of these sites have proven pretty reliable on their info. I also decided to post a few pics of a couple other plants in the front beds.

Pup came up a good 2 feet away from mama! Did not realize agaves send pups that far from parent plant...

This pup is more like I thought it would send up offsets...
