Even more impressive, your cats are politely queueing up for the drinking fountain

Very pretty. I don't think I've ever seen an aloe plant bloom before.

I had one I'd been keeping for about 6 years, then suddenly, it bloomed! Now it blooms almost every year, twice sometimes, and it's offspring have also started after a few years! I love them, all those pretty little bell-blossoms. Mine are more reddish I think, loving the green-yellow of yours, but maybe they'll redden over time as well.

This gives me hope. My mother plant is huge and old now, probably 8 or so years, and I don't take pups off it anymore. Can barely even move the thing outside in summer anymore. I’d love for it to bloom for me.

Very cool! I know many agaves bloom like this one time and then they die. I wonder if aloes also follow this approach.

This is awesome to hear. Fingers crossed that mine continues to bloom consistently. I'm pretty OK with the green-yellow color and if they start to redden more then, cool. Just being happy with what I've got because any bloom at all is apparently pretty rare 🄰
