Flowering Aloe

[Cactusgirl]

Hi thought I would share this flowering Aloe. I actually think it's quite pretty. This is the first time this plant has flowered and I've had the plant about three years now so very pleased. If anyone knows the name of the plant that would be helpful please.

I think it's Aloe aristata. Nice flowers.

I'd wait for that to be confirmed by someone much more experienced than me before committing it to ink!

I think we should be calling it Aristaloe aristata now.

i doubt I ever will, can't seem to get these new aloe names to stick.

It looks like an Aloe, flowers like an Aloe and hybridises with other Aloes. No need for trendy new monotypic genera, it's an Aloe.
