This is currently flowering in the back yard. Any clue as to what it is?

Some sort of flowering Aloe?
What is it? What is it?

I suspect we have the same thing growing in our front yard by the drive way. The flowers on ours have withered away, though. But do we know what it's called? Sorry! [grin]

I live in hope!

Are you up for company? I'm contemplating media watching and need moral support. Current urges include more Evangelion, Pride and Prejudice, Howl's Moving Castle, Sahara, Van Helsing or Constantine.

It is rather pretty, for a potential allergen.

I'm less scared of it than i am of the dandelions attempting to sprout in the lawn. I may have to send the bold Sir Juffles out to mow this week.

I'm allergic to the Office of State Revenue - the office area always makes me sneeze.

Just wondering if its worth posting an additional pic in different light. The flowers look yellow in this pic (they're white) - I suspect this it what it looks like early in the morning before I am awake.

It makes me think of foxglove, perhaps it belongs to that family?

They look pale yellow to me.

Do I sense that you are not taking me entirely seriously? Although mention of spanish daggers gets me interested but the doctor says I'm not allowed to play with sharp things )-:

Not taking you seriously? Perish the thought!
