Above is my haul from this morning's Botanical Conservatory pre-sale.

All vii aloes were merely $20. 

Two of them are instantly species, similar Aloe peglerae as well as Aloe castanea. The others are hybrids I had never seen before: Aloe marlothii × vryheidensis, Aloe comosa × distans, Aloe littoralis × africana, Aloe littoralis × Gasteria acinacifolia (which would become inwards a ×Gasteraloe) and Aloe aculeata × cryptopoda

Some of these hybrids accept parents that are quite compatible (Aloe littoralis and Aloe africana, for example, are both tall single-stemmed species). Others are a flake to a greater extent than out there: Aloe comosa, for instance, is a single-stemmed species that tin go arrive at vi ft. acre Aloe distans is modest sprawling aloe amongst rosettes that rarely transcend v in. inwards diameter. 

I accept no immediate plans for these babies. They'll alive inwards pots for a twelvemonth or two, as well as the nearly promising candidates volition as well as then become planted out.
