I really like that pink blush. Have to be on the lookout for one to add to my collection now.
Tally HO!

Love them all. You have amassed a 10-piece Kelly Griffin Aloe Extravaganza!

My favs are RFG, Medium well done, Midnight, and Pink Blush. I have a few also, but many are not named. Pink Blush has been blushing more and more recently.

Don't limit yourself to only Kelly Griffin hybrids. The Huntington is going to have several new Karen Zimmerman hybrids for sale this Spring. Jim Smith has been breeding some interesting forms. Dick Wright has created hundreds, but they are very hard to come by. And there are many others.

I'm just collecting hybrids that I like, but not focusing on just one hybridizer. In the last few weeks many have changed color from green to deep purple, yellows and reds. Some have surfaces like sand-paper, others interesting markings, or really big teeth, some molars, others incisors. The variety of small hybrids Aloes available now is wonderful.

Happy growing!

Brad

Thank you beachplant... I think Pink Blush is my favorite! It was the first I got then wanted more. I actually have 3. lol.. One is forming pups right now..
Several are blooming too...

Hi Brad....
Thanks..:) I would love one of all of Kelly's..:) My pinks are getting great color too! Even my hubby commented when he got home yesterday how nice they were getting!

Thank you for the suggestions of other breeders... And yes, I have my eye on them! :)
I LOVE Dick Wrights, and yes they are HARD to come by!
And I've seen a peak of the ones coming up from Huntington soon and want some. :)

I was so excited to get RFG, and Medium Well Done! Blue Fang and Neon Lights have never been offered comercial.

I do love they stay small! I live in a trailor park. I would like to put together a mixed bed in the spring. I hate everyone in a little pot. Want to see all the pretty colors together.

I have a little cutie called "Shark God" by Nathen Wong. It's his first named, and I don't know if he has any more.

Do you collect Kelly Griffins? Or Aloes in general?

I have a variety, not just Kellys. Spent years with the comon aloe, and seeing all these colors on them is fun!
