Aloe

With a backdrop of echium in the garden at OGH. 

That echium is the brilliant blue flowering variety, and will look spectacular when it flowers a bit later on.  Interestingly (as least to me) my pink flowering echium is in full flower at the moment, but this variety is at least 3-4 weeks away.

It's such a shame that OGH still has to be closed to the public.  Not so much because of Covid any more but because the Coach Development is in full swing.

Send a few prayers to our neighbouring State of Victoria.  Melbourne is in Stage 4 full lock down again, and will be for the next 6 weeks.  The whole box and dice - curfew, the lot.  It's a disaster over there.  And because of that our State borders are closed.  Can't see that happening in USA, but of course it would be much harder over there.  Our borders are in relatively lightly populated areas.
