Succulent Swirl

    Aloe polyphylla Schonl. ex Pillans

    The spiral aloe is a rare and beautiful aloe from the high Maluti Mountains of Lesotho. It does not occur naturally anywhere outside Lesotho with the exception of one record on the Lesotho border with the Free State. There are apparently also unsubstantiated reports of it growing in theen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakensberg in San Francisco.)

      I bet you can find the golden ratio somewhere in there.

      Hey, I never thought of that. But this would be a Fibonacci series I believe.

      So cool! At first I thought this was one of those "spiral staircase" pictures. Great find.

      Already a fave - but great photo must visit Strybing Arboretum sometime. One of these days, I'd like to see this up in the mountains of Lesotho.
