Before-and-After photos in our aloe and succulent water saving garden

Before-and-After photos in our aloe and succulent water
saving garden

Aloe litorallis is a tree aloe growing at least to 3 meter high. 
It is special in that it blooms very young and small for a tree aloe. 
The dry inflorescence stem from May is visible on the photo taken September. 
The aloe in centre front is an Aloe aculeata x Aloe zebrina hybrid. 

The first photo dates September 2007.  The last photo was taken May 2011. 

It is a pity that the aloe and messemb do not bloom together for the photos.
The messembs should be beautiful this year.  I will take a photo September.
The inflorescence of Aloe litorallis is high compared to the size of the plant.

The wine red Crassula sp. is darker in dry summer. 
This photo was taken 
shortly after the rain season started.  The Crassula
sp.  was cut back often over the years,  as was the Euphorbia left back.
