Not sure if this is the right place, but I need help finding out the real name of this plant. I believe it is some type of aloe? See pictures 2345 - 2348. Thanks

Here is a link that might be useful: See pics 2345 - 2348

Dear Rich,

Either here or at the C&S Forum, which is much more active.

Yes, it's an Aloe, perhaps Aloe saponaria, although the maculate Aloes are difficult to identify when out of flower. If you can, you might increase the amount of sun that it's getting.

Thanks, I have these in pretty much full shade... so they need to be in full sun all day? They have very pretty red blooms, but it has only bloomed once.

No, they don't need to be in full sun all day, but more sun would add to the color of the plant and help it grow more quickly. I don't know if adding sun will help it flower, but I should think so.
