Aloe comosaAloe comosa develops a large solitary rosette of broad blue-green leaves. Each substantial blade narrows towards its tip and carries reddish-brown teeth along the margin s, while a powdery surface gives the foliage a cool grey cast.Juvenile plants begin with shorter, more upright leaves. Later foliage becomes much longer and heavier, spreading into a rosette that may approach 1 m across and eventually sit above a short stem. The tall branched inflorescence can rise several metres, carrying densely packed pinkish-red flowers that fade to cream or yellow near their tips. Its mature scale comes from the contrast between the broad low rosette and the exceptionally long flowering structure above it. Show more
