    I realized when I posted a current photo of my plant in bloom just now, that it was in bloom this same time last year. It is one of 2 smaller aloe varieties I grow. The other is 'Pink Blush'. I've had both about 4 years & they are under 6" across. They grow in pots where I have to water them once a week. About twice a year I add a weak solution of Miracle-gro. They have never sent out pups but I keep watching for some of these easy to grow little beauties.
