By next Fall Jerry, you'll see why they named it that. The last place that my wife and I lived in had them growing by the back steps. I dug them up and put them in planters. By the following year, I had little babies growing everywhere including on top of concrete blocks. I brought a few with me but they might not  have made it through this Winter.
Happy ponding,

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

It wasn't the dry here that got them, Jerry, but the freezing temperatures that we have had this year.

Mary, Mother-of-Thousands is the common name, I'm not sure what the scientific name is. They do have a beautiful bloom which is similar to that of the Soap Aloe.
Happy ponding,
