This is a tree aloe that I grew from seed. Here are few other siblings so you can see the variation in how they turned out.

Nicely done! Unfortunately, for me there is an annoying split to the screen on the home page -- but when I open your actual banner it is quite stunning.

Click on the image in the first post of this thread - that will show the banner as submitted, which will not have the split that seems to be more common than not, for reasons I am a bit unclear about (something to do with the file size).

Thanks - since it is a "banner" I cannot see the whole picture it was taken from. But I realize that it is called a banner - not a snapshot. It is like a taste of something lovely, not the whole dish. Thank you.
