Aloe ‘Blizzard’ and Aloe ‘Snowstorm’ because I guess I’m getting into Aloes now

So you like begonias and beer, you’re interested in plant breeding, your escape fantasy is a cottage in the woods, and now you’re getting into aloes… you won’t even have to tell me when you start trying to grow tropicals outdoors and peppers from seed because we’ll be the same person at that point.

I’m plannin on saving some of my ornamental pepper seeds for next year if that counts?

My Aloe is now absolutely humongous. There’s no room for him indoors, but for now he really likes it out there, even though the temperature hit 2°C a couple of times already. It won’t be long before I close the glass panels on my balcony to protect all of the succulents from frost.

Plant of the Day
Thursday 11 October 2018

Making a show at the front of the herbaceous border Anagallis monellii ‘Sky Lover’ (blue pimpernel, poor man’s weather glass) is a low, compact, trailing plant. This tender perennial is usually grown as an annual which blooms from mid summer until the frost. The flowers close at sunset or during cloudy weather.
