First year this one has flowered. Image captured 12-31-08. This is brightest of 3 flowers. Others nearby from same source have more brown. Pretty normal among all Aloes and all species - races!
by thistlesifter Jan 11, 2009 2:21 PM
Another Aloe ferox flowering on 12-31-08. Flower color here exhibits normal 'race' differences within the species, with different color. Normal in all species of plant kingdom
by thistlesifter Jan 11, 2009 2:21 PM
Two different clones flowering together, illustrates contrasting view of normal 'race' differences that exist within a species. Foreground no. 1 and bright no. 2 in background.
