Is it still morning??! Yep!! So, good late morning, Snails.
Interesting reading for skin (dog & human)......I, too have several AV plants, and they have come in handy many a time.....even reduced scar tissue from rotator cuff surgery by gently massaging w/ AV from the leaf. I cut the edges of the AV with scissors, and then open it and very little, if any, noticeable scar. It also has a beautiful bloom!
