Aloe Aloe

The Aloe Vera in the cactus bed seems to be flowering!

I'm not exactly sure by what means someone thought that spreading this viciously spiky plant on your skin / yoghurt / toothpaste it'll cure everything from freckles to minor dismemberment but hey, that's marketing for you.

Mind you, I live in a town that made its fortune from wrapping people in towels wetted with stuff that dribbles out of the hills, and taking them for walks on a donkey.
