I love aloe and have a lot growing at our home on Paros.  When we arrived  this spring, many of the plants had flowered.  Incredibly beautiful.

The aloe vera (as opposed to the maculata in the foto) is one of the most important plants around as its uses are multiple (I’ve already posted about it here). It can be used as a beauty cream, shampoo, toothpaste, ointment for burns, cure for problems of digestion and much much more.
