Fredwina, that is COOL!
I know that's an aloe in the top photo, with flower shoots.

But what is the second photo of? Is it a snake plant? Are those big whorly things coming up flower stalks or just another type of succulent in the same pot as the snake plant? I'm confused...
I have a friend who has a green thumb. She has a snake plant that bloomed in her bathroom and filled her whole house with the loveliest fragrance for days. I've never seen a snake plant in bloom other than that one time.


I am excited over a succulent cutting a friend gave me a couple of days ago.
The common name for it is "Flapjacks" because the leaves are so round and flat and fairly large. The edges are very rosy if it spends the summer outside in the sun. Her plant is large and beautiful. Her is my cutting which is about 5" across:

Here is a picture from the internet showing a full plant (my friend's plant was way prettier, though!):

I am letting my fresh cutting "heal" for a few days before planting it. The cut end needs to seal and dry before planting, otherwise rot can set in.
