Today is 1 September which means it is Spring Day. The winter is over. Well, kind of. Although its still some way to go to summer, the days are getting longer and a little less cold. So I went through my unposted pics to find something suitable for today’s post and found … no flower pictures at all. So we will have to celebrate Spring Day with an aloe flowering on the Aloe Trail out at Bluewater Bay.

I once was told that these pretty flowers are alien to SA – I forget their name but they are most unwelcome and classified as invasive weeds in summer rainfall areas.

I have a name now – they are BRYOPHYLLUM delagoense (Chandelier plant) Previously known as KALANCHOE tubiflora. Erect growing succulent. Cylindrical grey leaves with prominent darker mottling. Bears tubular orange flowers in clusters in winter. Produces offsets (plantlets) on the tips every leaf as well as many seedlings. Rapidly forms dense clumps in ideal conditions, invades hot, dry areas in the savannah regions of Northern Province, Mpumalanga and Gauteng. Originates from Madagascar.
