Got this 2 gal plant flowering from Ojai... nice relatively thin, toothy dark blue-green leaves and a simple raceme dark red flower. Will probably plant out front. Right now guess it looks a bit like aloe scorpioides, but probably it's not.
Porphyrostachys guess Aloe arborescens hybrid, so changed it to that 3-08
