Thank you Malcolm. Will contact Karen. Regards. Johan
@ Johan. Global missions are generally reserved for organisations and not individual users whose range is restricted to 300 miles radius. This range will be changed soon to allow entire countries to be covered where they are of excessive size. Before accepting any spottings outside your range you need to contact our Mission Controller [email protected] who will be able to advise you on available options or organisations which you can tie in with.
Johan, it does matter, you are not authorised to operate this as a global mission.
Hi. No it does not matter. I am tracking aloes across the world. Regards. Johan http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9031632
Hi Johan, I didn't took this pic in Africa, does that matter.. ? Regards Matthijs
Hi. Join my Aloes of Southern Africa mission. Regards Johan http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9031632
You're right, ceherzog, that's exactly what it is. I see them like this a lot where I live, because they dry out in the summer heat.
I think it might be Aloe arborescens, but a very dry specimen http://luirig.altervista.org/schedenam/fnam.php?taxon=Aloe+arborescens
It looks like a type of Agave to me, though I'm not sure which.
