THE Asphodelaceae FAMILY

Aloe                                                      

Aloe is a great hiding place for this Anole.

Succulent plants, such as this aloe, store water in their enlarged 
fleshy leaves, stems, or roots. This allows them to survive in arid environments.

The aloe that I grow in pots thrives in the heat of the summer (zone 7b),
 but I bring it in during the winter. 
It does not tolerate temperatures below freezing.

After making a trip into town to see the new camera shop and talk with experts about a good camera for my needs we stopped at the botanical garden. The cactus garden always calls out for more exploration. Here are a few of the photographs.

I could not find a label for this beauty. It might be a flowering agave. My observation on the sheer length and shape, a dinosaur vertebrae?  These are such awesome plants especially when they flower.
