Native to Tanzania and eastern Africa, Aloe dorotheae is a beautifully toothed, clumping, stemless rosette up to 20 inches wide. In bright light the rosettes turn a beautiful shade of orange red. In early spring red flowers appear on a stalk 2 feet high.
     Found this small one at Home Depot. Hopefully it will look as nice someday as the clump at the Desert Botanical Gardens on the Aloe page. Below is a picture by Geoff Stein who has allowed me to use his pictures on my web site. Thanks Geoff! Click HERE for a gallery Of some of Geoffs other pictures.
