Re: Aloe 'Hey Babe'
Google says Aloe descoingsii x (Aloe bakeri x Aloe parvula) by John Bleck.

Re: Aloe 'Hey Babe'
It's one from John Bleck who used to own Abbey Garden Nursery in the US back in the last century. They were grown as part of a project when he was a university lecturer and I think the students had some input with the naming. His best one was 'Fiesta' which I haven't seen for ages.

Re: Aloe 'Hey Babe'
Ah, thanks. I meant decoingsii. It's that, not haworthiodes, with a similar flower. Old age....

Re: Aloe 'Hey Babe'
I think "Lizard Lips" was distributed most widely of all his hybrids in the hybridising program he undertook.
Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.

Re: Aloe 'Hey Babe'
descoingsii and parvula I believe were key species
