wonderful close=up.

It's not an aloe, but a variety of jade plant ( Crassula ovata ); this page calls it "Gollum".
I should confess that I used some Photoshop to further blur the out-of-focus areas.

Excellent close up!!

Probably an aloe that people have picked off the ends, but well shot.

Cool shot, Peter. So close! Nice black b/g makes them jump.

Gotta have fun in the old office. Nice macro, what a buzzy looking plant you have there.
