Lotusland’s Aloe Garden
Winter months find Lotusland’s Aloe Garden filled with spectacular red, yellow, and orange flowers, accompanied by the buzzy song of hummingbirds. Many people are familiar with Aloe vera due to its medicinal qualities, yet Aloe vera is just one of over 600 species in the genus Aloe. A diverse group of plants with a native range that stretches from South Africa and Madagascar to the Arabian Peninsula, aloes range in size from the diminutive Aloe descoingsii with its tiny rosettes to the massive tree-like Aloe barberae. Lotusland’s spectacular Garden contains more than 160 Aloe species.
Notable Species
Aloe sabaea, A. excelsa, A. lukeana, A. ferox, A.marlothii, A. salm-dyckiana, A. confusa, A. lutescens, A. elgonica, A. barberae, A. dichotoma, A. plicatilis, and A. ramosissima. Large specimens of the gru-gru palm (Acrocomia aculeata) and a ponytail palm (Beaucarnea stricta).
