Beauty, Health and Living

I finally found out the name of my Aloe Vera.  It’s from my Succulent Collection post.

This type of aloe does not have much gel.  I like the fact that it has no sharp thorns along the edges unlike my other aloes.  The green gray leaves with little lines are also very neat!

I noticed the stripes on my leaves and remember reading that some aloe have these “variegated” lines on the leaves.  And also these aloe have coral colored blossoms.  I look forward to seeing those blossoms.  Here are some info I’ve gathered from Trio Nursery:
