Meet my Aloe vera plant. An easy-going plant with hidden healing properties – the most common one being the use of the gel from its cut leaves to soothe burns. I haven't tried this yet but I like the idea that I have a first aid treatment sitting in wait on my bookcase. A house plant for now, it will get a chance to go outside when the last frosts are over and will be a much needed plant in our minimalist garden.
Linking in with Lou from Littlegreenshed. Such a pretty project to brighten the middle of the week.
