'Allo, 'allo, 'allo!

Aloe ferox (also known as the Bitter Aloe, or Red Aloe) is indigenous to South Africa, and widely known for its medicinal and healing properties. Our shops stock many lovely pampering body products made from aloe extracts - this web site belongs to Alcare, one of the major producers of these products, and we've found their bath foams and body lotions in many a hotel room around the country.By the way, many overseas tourists tend to get sunburnt when they visit South Africa (our secret is that we always wear sunblock...) - if this should happen to you, get hold of some aloe lotion; it's reputed to be great for soothing sunburn.

Wow very impressive. I have some growing in a pot downstairs but had no idea it could get to that size.
I too use it for burns. I just break off a piece, split it open and put the gel inside straight onto burns - it works a treat. I had a bad burn on my hand a few years ago and actually bandaged opened pieces of the stem down onto the burn - magic!!!

Great picture Kerry-Anne, the sky colour suggests that it's rather warm at the present.
I love this plant - have some growing in my garden. I remember when I lived in Australia being told it was good for sunburn. You live in a beautiful place.
plants very surprising and very beautiful
