    Anyone knows which Aloe this is... when it comes to such plants it's hard to tell which-is-which.
    Still quite small, not sure it gets any bigger, considering it's in bloom right now.
    The long tender stem makes it hard to get a decent full-size photo.

    This was before blooming.

    I think it may be Aloe variegate - Pheasant/Partridge-Breast Aloe although I'm no expert on these type of plants.

    I believe it's Aloe 'lime fizz'.

    Mine is with me for 15 years and has bloomed allot allot but I always cut the stalk off after flowers are gone. This one I neglected to dead head and this is what I got.

    There is a moral to this story. Don't dead head. Leave it there foreverrrr....

    I love it when Aloe's bloom. For some reason, they just always surprise me.

    Yea, it could that lime fizz .. wonder where that name came from, and where my plant came from :)
    It's a cool one anyway. Would love to have some pups maybe to share around here.
    I usually don't deadhead. So, we'll see.
    Thanks!
