We were mentioning begonias: here's my cane begonia; it's years old, but doesn't hate me the way rexes do! Also one of the aloes. The big one lives in the kitchen handy for burns when I'm klutzy!

That's a fine specimen Eileen!:D

Thanks! It was a cutting from Carolyn's, which was from a cutting of her mothers...letting a bit leggy, but it's about 10 years or so old....

[Moli]

Oh that's lovely! And blooming too! I've never tried overwintering them, will give it a try; it works for geraniums.

[Moli]

I have a lovely aloe in my greenhouse, will get a picture for you tomorrow...

[dandysmom]

I'd like to see it; I remember when it came up in conversation when you got burned! I swear by them, eases the pain and prevents blistering........

[Moli]

After you suggesting it DM, I did use it on the burn, and it worked...

[Mags]

That's a good tip to remember, I'm frequently burning myself on the oven :roll:

[dandysmom]

Mags, it does work! Really! I've given cuttings to friends and they swear by it too...

I have a few Aloe plants here .... and to think I've suffered the sting of burns all this time and there has been a quick soother at hand!!:roll::lol:

[dandysmom]

As I have often said here, "The things I learn on Catsey!" :-D

Lovely piccies, Eileen and Moli! Useful tip r.e. the aloe, must get myself a plant!

[dandysmom]

You just take a nice fat leaf, split it with your fingernail or something and rub the greenish gel on the burn.....relief!
