aloe

my aloe is now recovering after what i figured would be a rocky start to its new home. 

i repotted it a few months ago and moved it into its permanent pot and location in front of my south facing livingroom window.  i foolishly put in organic material from my compost bucket when i repotted it and for a while there, all the bottom leaves were sagging and pinching themselves off.

i was sure the thing was a goner.

just the other day, i noticed a welcome sight: the asparagus-like shoot rising out of the pot, poised to blossom!  obviously the plant is doing fine and has recovered and if it's happy enough to flower, then it has survived that scare!!
