Grabbed these this morning:
The Aloe-
Over 10 years went by before this aloe flowered. This is it's 7th season of flowering and every year, like clockwork, the stalks shoot up and gain most of their height in Nov, show a few bracts flowering on Thanksgiving, and are at their peak between Christmas and mid Jan. By Feb, the flowers have dried or dropped. The flowerless stalks add a nice We like the architectural look of the bare stalks and leave them on until Spring.
The Daffodils, (Narcissus)
It's not uncommon in my area to occasionally see a couple of spring bulbs pop through and have a 2nd flowering period at this time of year, but never a show like this. I don't think it's a coincidence that this is one of the spots in my garden where I was testing out my home brewed ferments this past spring/summer.
