Flower is Amaryllis not Aloe Vera
Grows from a large bulb
Aloe plants have very fleshy leaves with sharp sawtooth edges
Amaryllis leaves very smooth, flat and no “teeth” along edges

Pretty confident the flower is Amaryllis. Very large bulb usually fills the pot. Many different flower variants available. Definitely not aloe
Nice photo

Just recently upgraded to the 14 pro max from iPhone 8 Plus. Very impressed and still learning of capabilities of the 14 pro max. Still have and use my Nikon D 7100 and several lenses. Use it and the iPhone sometimes at same site. The results are often quite close but Nikon lenses generally offer greater spectrum of opportunities for quality results. Trade off for me as I get older is the convenience of the iPhone relative to carting around the much heavier and bulkier Nikon along with a few lenses. I was considering moving to a mirror less camera but having to get several new lenses as well did not seem practical from cost perspective, even considering the relatively high cost of the new phone.
I’m now searching for a tripod and adaptor to support the iPhone, especially for macro work, Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link
Very helpful and some good tips will try next time letting Efex Pro do the conversion to BW and compare to it being done in LR

Quick question - I have used Silver EfexPro as an add-on with Lightroom Classic. I usually create a virtual copy of my raw color image and convert it to B/W in LR and continue to tweak before sending it to Efex for more fine tuning. Does anyone have any idea if there an advantage to sending it as the LR-edited color image and letting Efex do the B/W conversion?

Definitely not Aloe Vera.
Most likely a variety of amaryllis. Commonly sold as large single bulbs, often as gifts at Xmas time.

Great captures of a beautiful region. #5 (also #8) appears to be the landmark, Bell Rock, in Sedona / Oak Creek area not far from the "castle". Countless adventures and amazing natural beauty can be found everywhere in this glorious Red Rock Country.

Calibration is important and the Spyder 5 works very well. The included (downloaded) software prompts for periodic recalibration of monitor to correct for drift over time. B&H has the Spyder 5 on sale at significant discount on a regular basis. Sign up for their emails. I saw it included on one of this week's sale emails. Right now they seem to be announcing new sales almost daily.

As one who doesn't often comment on UHH but, one who has also spent a career in research and education regarding the potentially toxic/adverse effects of chemicals, I feel compelled to comment in response to your honest and appropriate question.
Despite the poor attempts at humor found in some of the responses, a mercury spill, of any size, is not a joking matter. The type of spill you describe should present NO long term risk to anyone if properly treated and presuming that it does not happen frequently in the same space without cleanup. Proper treatment doesn't require a visit from a government agency as someone foolishly/jokingly suggested. Likewise because someone handled mercury years ago and is still alive to write a cavalier response to your query does not mean the spill you described represents no risk. The mercury in fluorescent lights can be dangerous since it can vaporize and be inhaled. The same is true of the pure liquid mercury some played with a few generations ago. As with any chemical exposure, the health outcomes depend on the amount of the poison and the duration of the exposure (How Much and How Long). Low levels inhaled over a long period can cause serious mental disorders and a Parkinson's Disease - like syndrome. This is not an issue with a couple of broken tubes with proper cleanup. Yet mercury evaporation can be a slow process, especially if "trapped" in a closed space and, depending on conditions, a low exposure over a long time could have subtle consequences. Remember the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland? Mercury was used in making hats years ago and his behavior mimicked a form of mercury poisoning. However, per the EPA and others, the amount in one or a few fluorescent tubes does not constitute a significant risk if cleaned up and disposed of quickly and the room is well ventilated. Vacuuming, as mentioned in one of the responses, is not advised without a specialized vacuum because it could spread mercury well beyond the immediate spill zone.

Your local Poison Information Center (800) 222-1222 is staffed by specialists in matters like this and can provide sound advice. Also, check this EPA site for simple instructions.
