About this image
Aloe vera is a plant species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses. Aloe is also used for decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.
Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed plant growing to 24–39 in. tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 35 in tall, each flower being pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 1 in long. Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil.
Aloe vera leaves contain phytochemicals under study for possible bioactivity, such as acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone C-glycosides, anthrones, other anthraquinones, such as emodin and various lectins.

What my clients say
Fantastic quality and even better customer service!!
Thank you, Adam.
Received canvas in a very timely manner and packaged with care. I would highly recommend! Now that my husband opened the canvas, he was shocked. We've been trying to capture that "shot" for years. It is proudly displayed in our living room for everyone to see.
Thanks Adam for capturing the Jens Jensen Winding Road. My wife and I have been searching for the last few years for some art that really took us back to Door County. This jumped out at us immediately. Now it sits in a place of prominence at our home. We’ll keep looking through your work for more from DC. Steve & Deb Winterhack
