Even more impressive, your cats are politely queueing up for the drinking fountain

I had one I'd been keeping for about 6 years, then suddenly, it bloomed! Now it blooms almost every year, twice sometimes, and it's offspring have also started after a few years! I love them, all those pretty little bell-blossoms. Mine are more reddish I think, loving the green-yellow of yours, but maybe they'll redden over time as well.

This gives me hope. My mother plant is huge and old now, probably 8 or so years, and I don't take pups off it anymore. Can barely even move the thing outside in summer anymore. I’d love for it to bloom for me.

This is awesome to hear. Fingers crossed that mine continues to bloom consistently. I'm pretty OK with the green-yellow color and if they start to redden more then, cool. Just being happy with what I've got because any bloom at all is apparently pretty rare 🥰

Very pretty. I don't think I've ever seen an aloe plant bloom before.

Very cool! I know many agaves bloom like this one time and then they die. I wonder if aloes also follow this approach.
