You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Pretty sure it's claviflora, can't think of any of the more common ones it could be.

Re: Aloe ID PLease
Not sure now but maybe think it is either claviflora or dichotoma?

Re: Aloe ID PLease
I believe dichotoma grows with the leaves not arranged in a fan shape (not sure what the word for that arrangement is, sorry). The leaves in this one seem to be all be growing in the same plane, I believe claviflora starts off fan-shaped and then becomes a rosette later in life?
