Positive palmbob On Dec 7, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This is one of the more attractive non-suckering non-tree Aloes- holds a lot more more leaves than most and has neat, upright, stiff leaves with very sharp spines along the edges of the leaves. How this variety differs from the regular Aloe broomii, I'm not sure. Maybe a bit paler and looks a bit larger? Flowers are incredible- huge, single light greeen raceme (spike) with bright small yellow-orange flowers that open gradually along its length. Personally one of the most beautiful of all the aloe flowers.
