After seeing the plants at the Intratuin Garden Centre I am now suspicious of the I.D.s on these things! They were sold as Aloe broomii...
See how the top of the leaves lacks spines - it cannot be A. marlothii
The spines have a white base with a red spike. If I remember correctly, the only large Aloes (in South Africa at least) with this characteristic are certain forms of A. aculeata from the Limpopo area and A. peglerae... But this is from memory - I will need to check the literature again... But I really am beginning to think that these are actually A. aculeata!
An oldie, from *the* FDT-spree with Chantal earlier this year.
Not the most comfortable face-down spot btw :D
A Volkswagen T1 bus as an ornament for your Christmas tree. With surf boards on top for those already dreaming about Summer...
In the garden centre.
Yes, it is hard to believe but people still buy these wooden clogs for other reasons than to send them to the USA. Not many, but they still do.
This miniature village is in wintertime always in "our" gardencentre Intratuin, Ter Aar. It's handmade (scale 1:5), completely, by a couple from Nieuwkoop, Anton and Greet v.d. Hooren. It's a typical landscape of the area were I live, how it use to be, not too long ago 1930 - 1940. They use to gain peat over here. All those lovely lakes around here, Westeinder- Nieuwkoopse plassen etc., are in fact dug-out peat reservoirs!
Dit miniatuurdorp staat in de wintertijd altijd bij "onze" Intratuin in Ter Aar. Het is helemaal handgemaakt (schaal 1:5) door het echtpaar Anton en Greet v.d. Hooren uit Nieuwkoop. Het is een typisch veenlandschap van de omgeving waar ik woon, niet zo heel lang geleden, jaren 1930 - 1940. In deze omgeving werd turf gewonnen. Al die mooie meren in de omgeving, Westeinder- Nieuwkoopse plassen enz., zijn in feite uitgegraven turf reservoirs.
