FW: Aloe dorothea hybrid

The real Aloe dorothea is smaller and the flower is simple, maybe 1 branch. This hybrid I picked up at a local nursery and it has a wonderful range of colors during the year with its white spots.

It also produces a lot of pups just as the real Aloe dorothea and its glossy as well.

The hybrid flowers in late summer to early autumn with, initially orange-red, green-tipped flowers which becomes bright red with a hint of yellow on the tips.
