Tree aloe with pollen collector
Aloe thraskii in bloom at the start of winter.
The plant is shown here. It's a tree, with time. It has maybe a few inches of stem at this point.

How interesting to see the progressive stage of the bloom. Great detail and bee activity.

Great colour and well done capturing the bee!
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

all for the kind words. I have found that if I snap enough pictures, I'll eventually get one with both the bee and the plant in focus (more or less).
Aloe thraskii in a bot garden here after many years for comparison....
