Aloe Cancer
A rather strange photo today!
This is the second year that the Aloes on the rockery have not flowered.
The 'hairy' seeds that have clung to it, make a very interesting picture, though.
Note to self: I will have to get rid of these plants....
The "Aloes of Southern Africa" book states that Aloe cancer is caused by a severe infestation of mites that cause abnormal cellular growth in the effected parts of the Aloe.
