Candelabra Aloe - this forms a large rounded bush, growing to a height of about 8ft.  The plants have many branches, each stem bearing light green, grooved, tapering leaves edged with widely spaced teeth.  Towards the ends of the branches, these leaves are crowded together to form rosettes.  The flower-stems arch upwards from the centre of the rosettes, bearing thick tapering spikes of brick-red flowers in December.

Spanish Thyme or Cuban Oregano works wonders for a cough, cold or any other malaise.  Take 2-3 leaves, rinse in boiling water to sterilise, pulp and drink the juice.  Also works wonders on animals, google for more info
