I spent a week on Gran Canaria over New Year in 2020.
I didn’t do much apart from appreciating the sun and warmth.
But I couldn’t help but notice these lovely plants in gardens around Maspalomas.
Just in the hotel grounds there were a few things to grab my attention.
Here’s a beautiful aloe which I think it would be unwise to attach a name to – there seem to be too many to choose from!
An aloe with lovely lemon yellow flowers I looked through a good number of pictures on the California-based Dave’s Garden website where there a host of postings on the different kinds of aloes, all by Geoff Stein.
Rather than giving me any confidence in an identification, I realised it’s a very diverse genus with all sorts of hybrids.
These stems were about 1 metre high and the flowers were a gorgeous lemon yellow.
It could well be just Aloe vera, the widely grown medicinal plant which is unlikely to flower if grown indoors.

There are currently some 1,200 animals on the islands.
The first ‘Camelus dromedarius’ were brought over to the Canary Islands from Africa in around 1405, and were essential to the European colonisation of the islands.
They adapted well to the local conditions and expanded throughout the archipelago, particularly in the south of Gran Canaria and Tenerife and across the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
They were used to carry people and goods, and also had an important role in agriculture.
The islands’ indigenous population is the only breed of Camelus dromedarius to be recognised in Europe and, compared with other breeds of dromedary, has a relatively strong constitution, is of medium size, and is well-proportioned.
It’s a stocky beast with a well-developed chest and a muscular conformation.
Today, the Canaries camel is generally used in the tourist industry.
They are used as a means of transport on excursions to the islands’ national parks and nature reserves, including the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote.
