@CumberdickB Quite a few of mine in display cases...more cost but keeps them clean

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

Giving the summerhouse a good clean today, where I overwinter the Aloes...which are doing damn fine. Some turning into beasts that weigh a tonne to move.

@Hillborn13 I have tried this a couple of times and lost it both times .. I would love to know the best way to keep this in the UK

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@AlanEDown I agree, this is an excellent plant for hot, dry positions. Brittle and breaks easily, but, then, also easy from cuttings.

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@aNorthernGarden Lovely... How do you keep them happy?... dry as dust down here.

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@ARadgick I went many years ago, a beautiful, picturesque spot, worth a visit

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@jmadge33 Cordylines self seed around here, echiums and nerines fight amongst the normal brambles on the cliffs...as long as it doesn't carpet out all others like hotten tot fig then I do mind a bit of invasion

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@Plantbaseuk Nope! It's not you

@CumberdickB It just rained but was 12 degrees down here ... You've not had any rain? Obs not if still snow

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@HerveyBrookes @birstallboi I can't believe it either ... When the hell did they mess with a skipping rope? 🙄

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@CumberdickB Agree! Best thing on telly at the moment. Phenomenal story writing and equally good acting.

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@HerveyBrookes Agreed! Easy and beautiful

@urbanponds101 A sink near the back door ... Taken yesterday... Bloody wet weekend down here.

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@thatbotanicguy It's no longer just an Aloe? Course not 🙄 love this plant... Obs perfect for dry gardens

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@Theorangefrog86 I agree. Watched it with my partner... He fell asleep and I was left stressed n having to press pause 😂

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@StalwartPlants I think their seedheads are even more beautiful. I too have noticed this has escaped and thriving amongst the usual weedy collection of bramble etc on an unmade road.

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

Luckily here, most winters, the Echiums make it through and seed on unmade roads where the council don't spray. Currently, literally humming with bees.

[Nicholas.Inigo.Peirce @InigoPeirce]

@CumberdickB I thought it was just me ...

@TheFlowerShow Forgive me, but I've seen too many AI generated and colour enhanced plant images. I would love to see more photos to see exactly how realistic this image is. Also, in bright sunlight and at the end of the day to see if the colour holds/changes.
