This image and the 5 below do not show Aloe harlana, but another one of the mosaic aloes. Aloe harlana and other mosaic aloes are frequently misidentified in cultivation. I suspect the plants pictured here may be somaliensis instead (the oldest member of this group and perhaps the most common in cultivation).
This is only obvious if you look at the flowers. Aloe harlana makes red or yellow (not pink) flowers. Its racemes are conical-subcapitate, meaning the flowers are sort of bunched together and not distributed at a low density along a cylindrical raceme like the plants pictured. Click the link to see a decent example of harlana properly identified.

And here is somaliensis:
I would like to propose moving these images to the genus listing for Aloe unless someone feels strongly they belong under somaliensis or another species instead.
Please let me know what you think.
