It's not Aloe vera, which has yellow flowers, but it is a species. I used to have it, I used to know it, I think it might have been named Aloe camperi, but that doesn't sound quite right. Aloe vera is more conical in shape. It's a nice plant.

cactusmcharris, Thank you, I wasn't sure if it was a Aloe vera or not either, But thanks for the tip on what it could be or even might be.

And I'll wait to see if others can difinately I.D just for the record now that I am trying to get my cacti and succulents identified for my own knowledge of what species I have in my collection.

Thanks again,

Greg

Aloe cameronii?

The flowers look like Aloe camperi but, the leaf texture look like my Aloe vanbalenii. Now am I miss tagged again??

Denise

Aloe cameronii.

cactusmcharris, I know good and well that if someone here knows what it is you're most likely to be one of the one's who would know - And I was hoping you would take a shot at indentifying it, and I do appreciate it very much but now we have to figure out who is correct between there two choices.

Denise, You're also one of the one's I would have thought might know for sure and both of your answers are In the ball park I believe for sure, just from seeing pictures of those two you both selected I just can't remember their names.

So now I need you both to really think this one out please, and if you need help from the audience you can also ask them, Just to let you know you both have one life line left, So if you need to make a phone call go ahead, So go ahead take a minuet and decide what you think it difinately is and make your selection.

And please state if that is your finale answer.

Thanks guys and may you both be right because your name's are in the Light as you place your vote.

I love this site and it really sharpens everyone's knowledge on all the different types of species plus it's good entertainment and fun.

Greg

I succeed to Jeff since he actually lived amoung these plants in the ground, lol.

Denise

'your finale answer'...so that asteroid really is dropping by today?

Greg, I don't remember, so I've already had two guesses and am comfortable with neither really. I want to say Aloe babatiensis, too, but that's a somewhat uncommon one. If your Aloe's leaves were more curved and shorter I'd go Aloe elgonica. But I just don't remember. Someone else will know what it is. It's got along this well without a name, a few more days won't matter.

I never got into those shows - Jeopardy's more my speed, because sometimes I can sing 'I won on Jeopardy!'.

Denise,

How can a Queen of Everything succeed to me? I did have that one in the ground, I'm pretty sure. There were so, so many Aloes in the ground, but you should have seen an Aloe garden in North County - acres of Aloes, I can attest to.

My finale answer, but not my last one, Aloe camperii.

Happy Camper Harris

Cactusmchsrris, I'm LOL by myself, I can totally see you on the
Jeopardy show just by all your posts on the web. Your very articulate and well informed on your answers.
And if your not sure about your answer you say, I'm just not sure and you don't put all your money on the line, so what did you wager? Or are you skipping this one?

Denise , wow!!! You are not sure either, I think the leafs not sure if that's what you'd call them branches, on your pic look longer not sure if that matters but looks some what similar.
So do the blooms all resemble each other? Because these are yellow and Orange.
Thanks

Greg

"Queen of Everything!?"

Thanks for putting it in writing, Jeff, now I can show it to my kids in black and white.

I prefer Goddess of Everything, lol

Denise

I'm leaning toward A. cameronii. Flowers seem a match (they branch too). I would believe it more if the leaves thinned out to a point & curved this way or that. Ha ha!

No idea, Greg, but I have to say "Hijole!" ;-)

Josh

Yeah!!! LOL... that's it, UH HUH!!!
Josh good to hear from you , boy isn't she a beauty?

Greg

Intense color...eye-candy, indeed!
Been busy with school....oh, and my 'Bantel's Sensation' hasn't shown any signs of growth ;-)

Josh

I agree with rosemario6. The leaves look a little fat but while googling A cameronii, I did see some who's leaves were a little fatter. Maybe a bit os hybrid in it possibly? There are also several varieties of A cameronii and maybe one of them has leaves that are a bit fatter. Is your aloe a "clumper" from its central base. It can even "branch " low down.

I have a larger cameronii and I can not get it to bloom. Do you fertilize and when do you do it. What kind of soil is it in? Here are some habitat photos that I found of the blossoms. Enjoy

Well I'll say Aloe Camperonii seemed to be the favored one.

Cactusmchsrris, looks like you were right , right from the start.

Denise, Miss goddess. I think you just scored a new name, fitting too, looks like you also get to advance to the next level of jeopardy for plant species, good job!

Wantonmara, thank you for joining us and you came in full of confidence knowing almost instantly that it had many similaraties to your own Aloe cameronii and you were right.
The leaves are thick on this species and very firm, I wasnt sure at first if it was A. Cameronii because some of the other names also looked close.
Again I use E.B. Stone cacti and succulent mix and miracle grow here and there,

Rosemariero6, you were leaning the right way from the beginning, and you were right and the stems do branch out and have multiple blooms on them. Thanks for joining us on this round of identifying Aloes with blooms .

Josh, I can't leave you out brother you showed up and admitted from the gate, Hey I have no idea what it is but said, it sure is some eye candies, thanks just for showing up to comment as you say, the more the merier.
See you on the Sanseveria plant section and remember "NO WATERING UNTIL WE SEE GROWTH".

Should there be any questions on any other possible I.D's for this Aloe please do post it. And Good night yall, omg It's midnight here and I've got to get to sleep, this is an addiction, at least its a good one.

Greg

The blooms and its form make it look a lot like my Aloe rudikoppe 'Little Gem'

Hello Central Cali 369, I can say this about the leafs or branches, they are rather thick and firm, I even want to say stiff.

Now that was a new name you've brought to the table, Aloe Rudikoppe " little gem".

Do you happen to have pics on hand please post if possible or if anyone else has that species would be nice to see.

This picture I've shown seems to turn all green then red.
In the winter.
