Thanks Tony. I hadn't seen that article. I wonder what happened to the polyphylla /plicatilis cross.
Anybody else got one in flower?
Aloe polyphylla

Re: Aloe polyphylla
I have a seedling grown form seed of a single plant thas was self pollinated.
True, of all the people having sown some of these seeds, I am the only one with one seedling. So the seeds might be less viable. But it can be done!

Re: Aloe polyphylla
Exciting to see this flowering! How old is your plant, Mike?

Re: Aloe polyphylla
I'd guess about 12 to 15 years.

Re: Aloe polyphylla
See above for age.
It badly needs repotting and I keep putting it off. I need a pot at least 2' across.

Re: Aloe polyphylla
So beautiful. I have just repotted mine into larger posts, they looked a little lost in the middle, but six weeks later the leaves are at the edge of the pot! Mine are just starting to turn, I can not wait until they look as glorious as your amazing plant.
