Some years ago I bought Aloe seeds from Koehres. Aloe cameronii and Aloe excelsa Now I have a plant that is probably excelsa, but the other one..well...doesn't look like the cameroniis I see in the internet.. but it is not very different too... Please see picture below and tell me what you think. Th...

Thank you very much, Nino_G

could not find it. Is there a typo in your name?

Thank you anttisepp! Very interesting.

Definitely too late for the plant in the picture below:

What can we do to assure flower synchronization between two different individuals of the same species? I have several "couples" grown in the same condition (even in the same pot). One plant is flowering profusely while the other does not show any flower bud. Besides fertilization (tips are...

I the first picture, right. Could it be M. magnimamma?

ok. Looks very similar to penicillata nivosa with white spines. Yes, anttisep, I saw what did you saw .... your suggestion made me notice that the spines in the first two pictures are whiter. Maybe there is some variation among the plants or some hybridization? But the flowers are all the same yell...
