Hello from the Indian Ocean
My favorite families: agave, aloe, euphorbia, mesemb ...
Here we have a tropical climate with a dry season (winter: June-September) and a rainy season (December-March).
And some hurricanes almost every year ...
All my plants are outside, in pots or in the ground.
My only (but big) problem: foreign plant import is prohibited on the island.
Your photo database is exceptional. I hope to be able to contribute to my modest measure.
NB: Any error of English is independent of my will ... Thanks anyway Ggle Trad

Re: Salut de La Réunion
Welcome! I look forward to seeing photos of plants you're growing (especially Aloe), as you do have ideal growing conditions for many of these types of plants, and you certainly are right there near the heart of Aloe origins.
Except for the hurricanes and import restrictions, I imagine it must be like succulent heaven there.

Thanks.
To inaugurate my arrival on Agaveville, I added some photos of Aloe helenae ... in bloom.
