I have one grass aloe that I got years ago from Out of Africa. It has survived several years with extreme neglect here in So. CA. I had it planted in the ground at a community garden that I had. It was dry all the time except for a monthly flooding. It still flowered and produced copious amount of seeds. My poor seed sowing techniques prevented me from getting seedlings. It went dormant for a year and then came back with a vengance. I believe it is A. myricantha but don't quote me on it. I want to get a lot more because I love the look of them and would like to see them used more in landscapes here. I do believe that they are geophytes because when it went "dormant" and it was being moved, it had a funky storage thing that I could only describe as a swollen root comparable to a small peony. ===== John Ingram in L.A., CA. http://www.floralarchitecture.com/ check it out Floralartistry2000@yahoo.com 310.709.1613 (cell, west coast time, please call accordingly.
