Two hybrids

[ralphrmartin]

Here are a couple of hybrids I have, with no names. Can anyone help? Thanks!

[Stuart]

The first is Aloe Variegata crossed with Gasteria Verrucosa, the second is Aloe 'Twilight Zone' a US cross including Aloe Haworthioides with similar flowers to Aloe Haworthioides.

Thanks Stuart.

I'd guessed the parentage of the first; I'm surprised that (if?) it hasn't been given a cultivar name, as its certainly a striking plant.

Off to make a new label for the second one...

Stuart, how in the world you knew that? I've heard and seen both hybrids, but no way I'd dare to ID.

Hat down, respect.

It's odd that I can recognise plants but I'm hopeless at recognising people.

Ralph, I have the first plant pictured as Gasteraloe Aveo. But it did come from a garden center. So who knows.

Brian, thanks!
While many pictures on the net of 'Aveo' aren't quite the same as my plant, and indeed the name may have been applied to various crosses with these parents,
the 'Aveo' from Kambroo

looks a very good fit. So that's what's going on my label.
