You have some lovely Aloes Philippe.

I have some aloe. Wonder why not one want to flower for me? Don't they like me or what?

Perhaps not big enough or old enough yet?

Lovely aloe forenceae, I bought a very small one from STC this year. It is already looking very nice. Mike what are your diffiiculties with erinacea? it seems to me to be a bit dry. I kept mine fairly damp all summer and now I give it some water when it starts to look a bit deflated, and only the hairy spine structures turn brown

Drying out of the leaf tips. Maybe I do keep it too dry...........

This is how I want it to look! I've seen this plant in the flesh many times. Probably the finest Aloe have ever seen.

Thats a beautiful plant. How big is the pot it is in? It doesn't look as if it flowers though.

Judging by its region of distribution it would indicate that it receives Autumn/Winter rains. They also receive a lot of light, but under glass they can scorch so easily in this country. They are pretty plants, but so slow and rarely flowering in the UK
