Week eleven

Starting to look a bit long in the tooth now. Not helped by Cortana not managing to get the top and the bottom in focus at the same time. Maybe if I moved the pot to the west facing kitchen, the light would be better, but that, somehow, seems to be cheating.

Following the thoughts at reference 1, wondering about seeds again. Maybe next time the aloe flowers, assuming this to be in at least mild weather, I will put the thing outside and give the insects a go. Or does it depend on insects which only thrive in the Mexican highlands, awash with aloes? Do I need to get a fine paintbrush out and do it that way, as if it were a pumpkin?

The orchid is doing well behind, with a new, rather obscene looking shoot having appeared between two leaves, between it and the aloe. Maybe two inches long now.

Suitcase on the left having been recovered from the roof, contents awaiting inspection prior to dispatch to the tip, as noted in the previous post. Perfectly decent suitcase of shell construction, in working order, if a little shabby. But a sign of the wasteful times we live in that it is without value. Only good for the bulky household waste container at the tip.
