The genes of an aloe species carry the information how to grow, when to bloom, growing conditions - in fact - information on all aspects of the aloe plant's life.

When two different aloe species combine to form an aloe hybrid, the resulting genes end up with a wider range of options, thus making it easier for the aloe hybrid plant to adjust to cultivation and growing conditions. e.g. in the aloe succulent garden.

Most of the time hybridizing improves the aloe plant, the flower and/or the length of the time an aloe is in bloom.

Aloe seeds made by the birds and the bees.

These seeds would be mainly pure species with a few hybrid surprises thrown in. Ideal for the person who wants an assortment aloes for the garden.

We have grown some very nice aloe hybrids from these seeds.

Most bees do not buzz around wasting time, they usually stay in the group of flowers as long as there is enough pollen and nectar for their needs, but there are always those few bees who will make a quick stop at another group of flowers for whatever reason.

We have seeds made by the birds and bees, of the following species

Aloe chabaudii

this aloe makes very nice hybrids. we make the marlothiiXchabaudii hybrid on purpose.

Aloe ferox

the seeds are from the garden form with extremely long racemes

Aloe microstigma

again - this is mainly pure A.microstigma seeds with other aloe hybrid combinations done by the bees.

Aloe petricola

same as above. A.petricola is popular in hybrids as it improves the raceme

Aloe tenuior

This bright yellow aloe blooms throughout the year. Making seeds of this aloe is a lot of work. It has very small seedpods with a few seeds per pod. I do not have the patience to make even 100 seeds, the bees can do it better.
