This looks like Hesperaloe parviflora, which is in a genus from North America that's distinct from aloe and actually closer to yucca and agave. I would like to propose the image be moved to this location. Please let me know what you think.

Red Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora)

I was hesitant to approve this photo because I also thought it resembled Hesperaloe parviflora, but I have very little experience with succulents. I almost tree-mailed you, Baja, to learn your thoughts on it. Now I know.

One way to tell the difference is by the marginal hairs on the leaves. I don't know of any aloes that have them, but a lot of yuccas & their relatives do.

In the absence of any objections by Arcadiaseeker, I'm going to move this photo to the Hesperaloe parviflora entry.

Hi there,

Many apologies for the confusion I was almost certain I included the scientific name hesperaloe parviflora. Here in Texas this is frequently and lovingly referred to as (Texas) Red Yucca albeit it is in fact an aloe.

Please move it where it fits best in your database.

Kind Regards,
