But here is one of my succulents, an ALOE (anyone who can tell me WHICH ONE, please DO) that, due to its small size, really surprised me with a tall and slender stem and nice (not-too-small) green->yellow->pink flowers.
It's not producing any pups yet, so I am thinking it's throwing all energy in these lovely flowers.
(I brought it inside, together with some other succulents, as it's been raining on/off for the past 2-3 days).
Here it is, on a sunny day, when I first saw what it's up to.
Temporarily sitting between a pot of Ledebouria socialis and my only survivor Aloe polyphylla.
The really tall stem makes it hard to catch the whole plant in a nice pic.
This is Aloe x 'Dorian Black'. Not a rare houseplant aloe, its very long flower stem is normal. Flowering is initiated with a period of very dry, followed by ample moisture. Two or three cycles a year can be induced.
