| These aloe plants are growing on the side of the highway on the way to Marigat, Kenya. Look at all the succulents in the background too. I'm not sure the name of that succulent tree but it is plentiful in these parts. As for the aloe vera plant there is a factory nearby which grows and harvests many fields of aloe vera. |

Ahhhh great memories of Africa. I like the prickly pears at the back, their fruit is delicious, just have to take care when peeling it!! Diane
