Hetty, my first thought was maybe a variety of Cryptanthus but the more I look at your photo, the more I think your plant may be an Aloe.

Cryptanthus 'Feuerzauber' comes close, but you might struggle to find any more photos of it.

There's a long list of them with photos on this site, I haven't gone through them all. There's a huge variation in form!

It looks a lot like Orthophytum gurkenii if it's taller and not flatter to the ground, but I can't tell anything about the dimensionality.

I think you got it Tee! It even has small white flowers on the young plants.
