Aloe cooperi flowers

Aloe cooperi is a valued grassland resident, making its floral statement during summer and a bit longer. Sturdy, single-raceme peduncles present the torch-like inflorescences near or on a par with grass flowers and seeds. 

If you ever plan to grow an A. cooperi plant, friable soil is a good idea. This soil has a crumbly texture permitting the roots to thrive from balance between drainage and moisture retention (Van Wyk and Smith, 2003; Pooley, 1998; Reynolds, 1974; iNaturalist; https://farmingbase.com).
