Signs of Spring

Here's my aloe vera plant. I got it last spring, and I have managed not to kill it.

Yet.

Last year it was only about four inches tall with only two stalks. Now it is about ten inches tall with another two shorter stalks coming through the soil.

Behind it I have a dragon tree of which you can barely see a few of the leaves. As it grows, I will twist the trunks around each other. As of now they are not tall enough to start twisting.

This is one of my hanging baskets with an ivy. I got this one earlier this year. It has thrived, along with my other different types of ivy.

I love hanging baskets. With adjustable chains, I have several baskets hanging at different lengths.

So there's a little preview of my porch. I have quite a few more plants. I'll have to get my camera out again. Maybe I'll have to get some more plants.

It's hard to believe that you have plants outdoors---my patio grass is still dead and I haven't yet seen a crocus, only the shoots.

When we were in Texas, we had tons of plants. Houston is great for plants. They probably love the sunlight and humidity.

Never had an aloe vera, but I should really have a few of these, especially considering they have healing properties to them and are absolutely great for skin and hair.
