If you have a picture of this plant in flower, tucked away in your archives, G/L, I would be most pleased to see it.

Unfortunately I cant oblige you yet Al, as its barely a pup itself, but I have seen pics of this species and they are well worth the wait!

Here is a link that might be useful: have a google

I have my own baby, G/L. Perhaps August will be the month.

Well according to a site i found:

Aloe bellatula
From the Itremo Mountains in Madagascar this beautiful dwarf Aloe flowers almost all of the year with its pendant bell shaped orange flowers.

Hey Larry,

On your google search, 2nd row, 1st pic, is my Aloe bellatula, and here is a pic 5 month's earlier:

That looks a really nice little aloe, and now i know what to expect!
How many years before it flowered?

GL, obtained this Aloe about a year and a half ago, and it has been blooming ever since. I can't tell you how old it is...sorry.

Doesnt look that old does it? I wonder if mine will flower next year!

LOL,no its going to flower this year!

Aloe bellatula bloom spikes last for a long time. When they get more mature, their blooming period is extended.
