Unknown Aloe, possibly a hybrid, love the lime colour!

Cotyledon tomentosa subsp. ladismithiensis

enjoy!

Oh, the garden is still a working progress...there will be a path round the side of the house.

Geoff, yeah must be, colour is more or less the same for all 3 petricola's I have. I am seeing some colour variation on the aloe aculeata seedlings as well - will be interesting to see them develop, there is about 30. Oh, I think I also understand why they talk about petricola and aculeata being close, especially in this plant, don't you think?

The 'unknown aloe' looks like A vanbalenii.
The Aloe shown as A petricola is actually an A reitzii.

-Excelsa

Glad you like it Mojave.

I need one of those in my life.

Is that a hill of Conophytum behind your Aloe dyeri? Can I ask what type and how do you treat it?

Lovely plants again, and they're growing so well for you. What does the 'Z3 area' mean? It's not like Area 51, is it, and I know you don't mean Zone 3 (weather colder than ours).

Excelsa,

It looks like A. petricola to me. I didn't think A. reitzii had thorny undersides and the leaves aren't as longitudinally chunky as Rian's plant.

Penny,

You should collect the whole capitata complex, many of the species' names relate to what they grow in, e.g. Aloe capitata v. gneissicola, A. c. v. quartzicola (and a few more, too).

Nice job I'm sure you enjoyed every moment of that project.
