This plant started blooming in January and has bloomed through ice and frost. It's very pretty and cheery when not much else is in bloom.

I love this plant! It does very well in full Texas sun and doesn't require much as far as fertilizing and water. And it spread very quickly. I had blooms from mid-spring through the very end of Fall.

Looks just like a light green suckering stemless aloe with yellow flowers on tall stalks. The flowers are a bit different looking (more complex) than seen in aloes, but otherwise I couldn't tell it from an aloe. From South Africa.
