Posted By: TheSimpleGardener STRANGE RED ALOE VERA PLANT - March 16th, 2007 at 08:40 PM
i was walking through the wildy near my church and when i got to this shrine mabye.. 100 yards off. on two sides of the mound there is a incline and decline like a upside down V. I was walking on the side facing out, and i looked down and saw aRED ALOE VERA PLANT< it was exactly like a aloe vera plant, i know cause i have one. so i look to both sides and theres 15-25 of them. i researched them for an hour and a half and couldn't find it. is it a new species?
can you tell me what it is?

Sorry Sandy I did not see your question.
To answer your question yes Aloe Vera is very good for burns. But....It has to be the Aloe Vera plant.

Aloƫ, is a genus containing about four hundred species of flowering succulent plants.

The picture shown in this post is a Aloe but not a Aloe Vera. It is a different Aloe.

It is like saying you saw a Polar bear but it is a Black Bear not a Polar Bear. But it is a Bear. LOL
