Aloe

Published 2007-3-18 by Randy Peterman

Yesterday at Lowes we picked up an aloe plant.  How cool are these plants?  Somehow the plant got a part of one of the ‘leaves’ broken off and the capsules inside werer full of the alue juices that I grew up wiping (with disgust) on my arm for sun burns.  Plantlife just amazes me.  Maybe I’m a bit of a bat botanist, or maybe I’m just a weirdo, but having plants give us fruits, vegetables, medicine and beauty is sometimes overwhelming for my little brain.

The upside of having an aloe plant will be that I can look at the spiney arms regularly.  The downside is that I kill most of the plants I’m in charge of.

    Personally, I like to think there’s a little Bat-Botanist inside all of us. ;)
