Introducing the Aloe bussei, which is a vibrant member of the AloeGo to types of aloe plants genus. Native to Madagascar, the Aloe bussei is known for its unique striking foliage and beautiful flowers.  

Aloe bussei is a succulent plant with attractive rosettes that are stemless or have short stems. Its lance-shaped thick, fleshy leaves, that can grow up to 12 inches long and 2.4 inches wide, turning coppery-red in summer. The leaves are glossy green and can have interesting patterns or markings. They're also armed with small spines or teeth along the edges, so you'll want to be careful when handling them. 

The flowers of the Aloe bussei bloom from late summer to fall and produce tall flower spikes that can reach up to 2 feet in height. The flowers themselves are tubular in shape and can vary in color from orange to red with yellowish mouths. They bloom in clusters at the top of the spike, creating a stunning display. 

Make sure your Aloe bussei gets plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Put it near a window where it can soak up all that sunshine. When it comes to watering, let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can be a problem, so don't go too crazy with the water. Use well-draining soilGo to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media made for succulents, and mix in some sand or perlite if you want to improve drainage. Aloe bussei likes indoor temperatures between 65°F to 80°F, and outdoor in USDA zones 9-11. And don't forget to give it a little fertilizer during the growing season. If you see any dead or damaged leaves, just snip them off. 

Propagation of Aloe bussei can be done through offsets or seeds. Offsets are small plantlets that grow at the base of the parent plant. You can carefully remove these offsets and plant them in their own pots. As for seeds, they can be sown in well-draining soil and kept in a warm, sunny spot. 

Additionally, the Aloe bussei is considered non-toxic to both humans and pets. Don't miss out on this opportunity to add something truly exceptional to your garden. Order your very own Aloe bussei today!

Valuable perspective; moving; beautiful
Format: Hardcover
I loved this book. I devoured the entire thing in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon. It's a beautiful and tragic and warm story all at the same time. I feel like a lot of times when we hear about the Vietnam war in the United States, it's told from the perspective of American soldiers rather than the Southern Vietnamese who lost their home land. Really refreshing to see this diverse and nuanced perspective. I look forward to Thi Bui's future works.

This book healed me
Format: Paperback
Beautifully written and illustrated. Although Thi Bui and I have astronomically different life experiences, I still found I could relate on a deeply personal level. This book taught me empathy and forgiveness at a time in my life where I struggled to have it. Bui nailed the complicated feelings and emotions that comes with confronting abuse, abusers (who happen to be your parents), and the painful impact of generational trauma on both the parent and child. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is on a path of healing their own broken heart.

Powerful Family History
Format: Paperback
After the birth of her son, Thi Bui feels an increased sense of urgency about learning the stories of her own parents. Like all but her youngest sibling, she was born in Vietnam, though the children came of age in the United States. While the war itself haunts all of them, was the reason they left their homeland, the wounds her parents bear go far beyond the military conflict. This was only the second graphic novel I’ve ever read (both have been memoirs), and like the first was also selected by my book club. I feel like the limitations of the format mean it will always be a less preferred one for me, because I found myself wanting more words, more depth to the writing itself. But the story is deeply compelling, detailing her father’s brutal childhood, her mother’s much softer one, how they came together, and how the Vietnam War disrupted the future they thought they might have. It’s not as straightforward as “Americans bad”, and Bui is not afraid of the moral ambiguity of that time and place, where the best interests of the majority of the Vietnamese people was an open question for larger forces that seemed to have little room for consideration of what might have actually made regular lives easier to lead. And apart from the larger geopolitical machinations around them, the family had their own share of tragedy, including the death of their first child and a later stillbirth. But three living children and another on the way was enough for her parents to make frantic arrangements to leave, finally succeeding and eventually making their way to the United States. But of course, that was not the end of their story, just the beginning of a new chapter. Bui’s childhood as she depicts it makes it clear that it wasn’t the stuff dreams are made of, but what shines through is her tremendous empathy for her parents and how they became the people she experienced them as. Overarching the narrative is a meditation on parenthood, as it is the birth of her own child that inspires her to ask her parents more. They might have made major mistakes, but it is clear that they loved their children and did what they thought was best for them, making countless sacrifices to give them the best opportunities possible, even if that love was not always shown the way that they wanted and needed to feel it. Vietnamese perspectives on the war in their country were not something I was exposed to growing up (honestly the Vietnam War itself wasn’t something I remember being taught with particular rigor in high school apart from its connection to electoral politics), and I appreciated learning more about the history of the country and how the people who actually lived through the conflict thought about it. Even though this is not my preferred format, I think Bui uses it well to engage in some non-linear storytelling and to very literally illustrate what she’s trying to get it, like the way she parallels the way her relatively rural parents must have felt seeing Saigon for the first time with the way she felt when she first moved to New York, a sense of awe and possibility. It’s a powerful, moving work and I would recommend picking it up!

Truly, the best we could do
Format: Kindle
An excerpt from my analysis essay I submitted for my literature course: By revisiting her family’s past from before, during, and after the Vietnam War, she gained a deeper understanding of the emotional burdens her parents carried and the sacrifices they made that defined the entirety of their lives. Bui’s illustrated graphic memoir reveals that trauma does not simply disappear over time; instead, it becomes inherited, processed, and transformed. Through this process, Thi Bui is able to move toward empathy for her parents, acceptance of who they are, and a more complete sense of self.
