Is this the flowering of an agave?
Whatever they are, they sure are tall.
In a backyard here in Meitar.
I'm having to get used to a whole new world of plants down here in the Negev desert.

UPDATE: Turns out it is an aloe. Thanks to the readers who knew and helped here.

Shalom Dina! We see those here too. I really like them but don't know what they are called. I once saw a whole hillside of them on the beach around some old dilapidated cottages. Very stunning.
ReplyDeleteThat is awfully pretty, Dina. I'll bet they'd grow really well here in Hawaii. They really add a splash of color.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Aloe from here, you "Strange Flower" :-)

It's an aloe! We have them all over the place here. I'd be right at home in Meitar.
ReplyDeleteI also vote for aloe: I once had two huge plants like these on my terrace...
ReplyDeleteAs some have already said, it's Aloe, which blooms around Christmas on the northern hemmisphere. You can find them everywhere here, although they are native to Southern Africa.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Amazing Orange Menorah Flower, Dina! (Love from Janet at Heifer!)
ReplyDeleteShalom friends and thanks for your happy thoughts here.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the plant mavens who taught me that this flower is aloe.
A beautiful shot. It's so different from the vegetation we see here.
ReplyDeleteThey look similar to our Pandan Laut (pandanus, crew pine)… tall and hardy with colorful flowers and fruits. Perhaps they are of the same species.
ReplyDeleteAloe? Gracious! Then it would do well in Hawaii for sure.
