Another aloe update...zzzzzzzzzz

so my aloe plant is still merrily growing.  this time the stalk has grown past the plant and has grown about 3-4 feet above it:

close up of the flowering stalk:

the lower "buds" are starting to fall off.  i'm not sure if they will open.  i also dont know what to do with the stalk once it's done blooming.  as well, i turned the plant and lo and behold, a new juvenile aloe plant is growing beside it!  repotting will likely come in the new year in spring and it will move to a bigger pot, probably its permanent home for a few years to come.
