Very cool!  Interesting because all my Aloe ferox bloomed earlier and are now at the very tails of the blooms.  Aloe speciosa about to pop, along with several other smaller Aloes out here.  The humming birds are getting their fill on all their flowers, as they seem to really like them along with the banana flowers.

How long does the event last?

Here is a photo last month with the Aloe ferox in full bloom (November 18), and the one on the far right finished blooming about a week ago.  The one on the right, closer to the middle still has a few flowers remaining on it.  The aloe to the far left, which is not in bloom in the photo is the Aloe speciosa which has a full inflorescence on it, just none of the actual flowers opened yet.  So for the Aloe ferox, its at least a month of flowers.
