Aloe striata x Aloe maculata    (South Africa)

 
This aloe is a natural hybrid between Aloe striata and Aloe maculata.  
It is a very good gardening aloe,  beautiful in color and medium in size .  
Top that with easy and fast grower,  just perfect.
One slight drawback is that it forms offshoots freely, which have to be thinned out.
I have plenty plants to sell/exchange.
Flower winter.  This aloe is from the western cape, I have no idea how it will react to frost.
but both Aloe maculata and Aloe striata can withstand light frost.

The edges of the leaves are pink. I find it difficult to get the pink color to show off on a photo.  
  photo right:-  If the offshoots are removed the plants grow larger
