I’m quite excited about my one of my aloe plants. Not only does it have three flower stalks (which I shared last week), but now all three are blooming. I’ve included a couple of photos of the blooms, along with some of the other flowers that have popped up around my house this past week.

I have aloe but they never bloom,may in future they do.
Zinia is beautiful
Thank you, Nusrat.
My aloe went for years without blooming, but growing normally. I can’t help but wonder if the recent drought we had here somehow triggered the flowering. Good luck with yours. I’m sure they’ll surprise you one of these days. 🙂
I am intrigued by the Zinia! The colour is beautiful, but also I don’t think I have ever seen the petals so far apart from each other. I like it ! 🤩
You captured the Aloe plant beautifully! Not just the flower part, but also those iconic leafs 🙂
Many thanks, Andrea! I agree, that Zinia looks different, but that’s what caught my eye. As for the aloe, it’s taking center stage on my back patio and is quite photogenic (as long as I capture its good side). 🙂
The aloe flowers look otherworldly. I also like that the zinnia compliments that vibe.
Thank you, Swabby! I agree, the aloe does look quite alien. My partner thinks the flowers look like some sort of underwater anenome.
I like the blooming aloe best. Monkey grass and Singapore daisy are new to me.
It appears the aloe is quite popular among the comments! The Singapore daisy has been growing and flourishing in my yard for years, although I didn’t know what it was. I Googled it for this post and was quite happy to learn its identity. It’s a lovely ground cover.
How wonderful!
Mine never blooms.
I admired those flowers in the Canary Islands.
Don’t give up on it, Luisa! It may just need a little more TLC. 🙂
❤️🤗❤️
Congratulations on the three blooms. Is that unusual? (I don’t know since I have never grown the plant.}
For me, one is unusual, so getting three is amazing (at least in my mind). Thanks, Pat!
Where I live many people enjoy forcing an amarylis bulb in the winter months to enjoy an impressive flower in their living room or dining room. Once they’re spent they’re thrown out. At one time I would collect them, tend them and get them to bloom again. A very satisfying activity.
I have a handful of amarylis growing in pots on my patio. I’ve heard of people forcing them to bloom, but I’d rather let them do their own thing. I’m glad you give them a better environment than they were originally in, Jasper.
Wow that’s awesome, Richard! So pretty. I wonder if the dry weather encouraged them to bloom 🤔🏵️
I wish I knew, Morag. This is only the second time they’ve bloomed since we’ve had them, and I’ve yet to figure out why. But I’m not complaining! 🙂
😊👍
I’ve never gotten my aloe plants to bloom, I wonder if it’s because they live inside? Those daisies are simply adorable, I wonder if they’d survive in WI?
Aloe seem to be finicky about blooming, so it may just be a matter of spoiling them to get them to flower. 🙂
The daisies may thrive in Wisconsin. We’ve had a couple of very cold winters recently, as well as snowfall, and they bounced right back in the spring.
I’ll have to see if I can find some!
These are amazing Richard, always wanted one of these plants. I really like the first couple of flowers, stunning colours.
Thanks so much, Wayne!
I’m impressed! A friend gifted me a very sorry looking aloe vera which I’ve nursed back to health and it’s grown so much I’m going to have to put it in a larger pot. But no flowers as yet.
We’ve had aloe plants for years without blooms. I have no idea what triggered this one, but if I find out, I’ll be sure to share the secret!
I’ll hold you to that, Richard.
