But this morning I suddenly noticed a flower spike on the Aloe variegata, aka tiger aloe (it has wide, rigid, very stabby bits). It was a nice surprise for me, so I thought I'd share it as my Wednesday Vignette.

And here, just for good measure, is my west-facing guest bedroom (comes with cat) window.

Oh - cool! You just might have to move that one downstairs to give it its due admiration while it blooms. I used to have one of those, but managed to somehow kill it. I left it in my unheated garden shed last winter as it provides better light than anywhere in our house. Should have known better... my Agave attenuata died a sorry death, too in the same situation. But, that was a bear of a winter... brrrr!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise! The plant must be happy - mine in the ground has never bloomed. And the cat appreciates the view too!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is fun to see those buds!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a way with Aloes, it seems they're blooming all the time! (where as mine rarely bloom)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun surprise for the new year! Loved the shot with the cat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice collection of pots to have by the window.
