Aloe brevifolia
"Short Leafed Aloe"



     Native to the coast of the Western Cape Province of South Africa, Aloe brevifolia is a stacked column like clumping rosette to 8 inches across and 18 inches high. It soon forms large patches. Reddish orange flowers are produced in late spring.
     Another misidentified Home Depot find. I like the blue green color and white teeth.
