Aloe broomii

This aloe species from central South Africa is unusual for its small flowers which are almost hidden behind the overlapping bracts on its flower stalk. The actual petals are yellow, but you have to pry back the bracts to really see them. What shows are the greenish-yellow bracts, the orange-brown filaments, and the yellow of the pollen on the anthers. This aloe is very cold-tolerant (down to 17 F, or -8 C), but needs very good drainage to put up with our wet winters here in California. It looks more agave-like than most aloes.

Aloe broomii (at Davis, California)

[gejianxin]

Aloés...... Aloe est un genre de plantes succulentes, les aloès, originaires principalement d'Afrique et de Madagascar. Certaines espèces proviennent d'Arabie et d'Inde. Les fleurs d'une taille de 5 cm en moyenne, se regroupent de manière dense sur de grandes hampes florales, mesurant parfois plus d'un mètre. Leurs couleurs varient (rouges, orange ou jaunes) et certaines espèces présentent les trois au cours de leur floraison. Les inflorescences peuvent être coniques (A. arborescens, A. maculata), cylindriques (A. broomii, A. suzannae) ou globulaires (A. striata, A. capitata, A. helenae). Contrairement aux agaves, avec lesquelles les néophytes les confondent souvent, les aloès ne meurent pas après avoir fleuri.

Aloe broomii var. broomii

With its unspotted stiff triangular leaves, Aloe broomii looks very much like an Agave. It is native to east-central South Africa, in the Eastern Cape and the Orange Free State. The flower buds are hidden behind yellow-green bracts, but they poke out and become visible when they mature, with the short yellow tubular flowers contrasting with the orange-brown stamens which extend beyond the tips of the tepals (”tepals” is used in place of petals for flowers where it is difficult to say what is a petal and what is a sepal). The plant pictured is the spring-flowering Aloe broomii var. broomii, while the slightly larger Aloe broomii var. tarkaensis blooms in late summer and has vivid green buds which are not hidden behind bracts.
