Aloe Vera

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.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Famous line from Shakespeare's, Romeo & Juliet

 

I've always loved roses of any kind and especially if they are fragrant. These ones are located along a busy road way at the edge of someone's garden.  

Even when the rose begins to wither, it's beauty is still there.
