Today was a spectacular beach day and we arrived to a spectacular sight:
Aloe arborescens blooming at Jaycee Beach
A. aborescens (aka Torch Aloe) is one of the most widely cultivated aloes in the world. As a prized fall-to-winter bloomer, it is found growing from mountains on high to sea level below. The coral-red flowers hang tightly on unbranched inflorescences that rise 2 feet above the foliage in early winter
Torch Aloe is hardy to approximately 22F and requires no irrigation. Salt and drought tolerance make it a perfect succulent shrub for seaside locations
