Thanks for the reply but I don't believe that is it... mine is much bigger, the "leafs" get about a foot long and up to 6" wide. I don't even think one of its baby's is as small as some of the aristata. :'(
Okay, strike 1 Try Aloe juvenna http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/ ... venna.html I can't find any info on how wide it gets tho.
:-D Thanks again Toni but... Stike #2 I'm affraid! But it has made me figure that perhaps it would be easier if I posted a better picture and better description!! :-D Here is another picture... It is approx 2.5-3 feet wide, the "leaves" are approx. 4-5" wide at the base and approx 10"+ long at it's longest. It sprouts a flowering stalk that gets about 5 feet or so tall with red-ish flowers that bloom off of several shoots off the main stalk. I can't find the picture for that... P.S. The Aloe Juvenna looks like.. It looks pretty neat and the leaves do have similar markings.
I have found bunches of Aloes with red blooms. Also found this site where you might find yours thru. http://made-in-afrika.com/aloes/order.htm
Wow thanks for sharing that website!!! Now I can't decide which species it is!! I am stuck between several, I may have to wait until one of them blooms again and try to identify again... The ones I am stuck between are... (please anyone chime in with an opinion!!) Aloe brandraaiensis Aloe grandidentata Aloe maculata Aloe zebrina Thanks Toni!
I realize this is a very, very old post...but thought I'd put in my 2¢ worth: I believe it is Aloe grandidentata. Blooms/inflorescence would help nail down the ID further.
