Initial Notes:

This is my biggest disappointment... came as a very small seedling from Mesa Gardens as A alooides, which it is about as far from as you can get. Was wondering why its leaves never got that long. Fast growing and ended up being a pretty large plant, making a very robust inflorescence and nearly square racemes, unlike all the other spotted aloes...Has smallish, red teeth and is only faintly spotted all over- some areas of leaves not spotted at all.
