Succulents
Succulents are a diverse group of plants known for their ability to store water in their leaves, stems, and roots. They are found in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, making them popular choices for indoor and outdoor gardens.
Aloes - Pretty Flowering Succulents
Native to sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and Arabia, Aloes are evergreen succulents with usually spiny leaves arranged in neat rosettes, and spectacular, candle-like inflorescences bearing clusters of brilliant yellow, orange or red, tubular flowers. They exist in a wide range of sizes, colors and offer an amazing array of leaf shapes.
