The Plant That Never Stops Giving!


53
years ago when I was living on Miami Beach the woman who showed me what
unconditional love was, Flo, gave me a Mexican pot that she had bought
on her honeymoon during her first marriage, and planted an aloe pup in
it. That pot has been with me ever since and can't even imagine how many
pups have been given away or replanted in other pots of mine over the
years.

I
noticed the other day that the plant on the right was too huge for the
pot which started to tip over so I got to work today and did some
repotting and replanting making 5 new potted plants for a total of 7
aloe plants all related having started from the mother plant all those
years ago.

Miss you Flo but see you everytime I look around my apartment!

It's always interesting to me how we can pass down a plant like that along with the treasured memories. Seems like it is all the more precious because it was not an expensive gift.
