This was a plant Little Satis brought home from school one day. It lasted quite a while, and we eventually planted it outside where it grew into long, twisted vines.

Towards the end of the aloe flower’s bloom it droops downward and opens. The pollen is colorful, and stains almost as badly as lilies.
