Just about ready to flower

My Aloe doran black is about ready to burst into flower. This is only the second time it has flowered.

I'm pretty sure your plant is Aloe variegata, not A. 'Doran Black'. Still a nice plant though.

Thank you John and Ralph for correcting my mis-identification - new label required :oops:

I will of course post a photo of the plant in full bloom Rod.
