Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Nov 29, 2020 1:28 PM concerning plant:
This Karen Zimmerman hybrid is an F2 cross of Aloe parvula and Aloe divaricata, with narrow leaves bearing many prickles or bumps, appearing almost hairy from a distance. It looks a little like an overly wide and tall version of parvula. The leaves may be various colors of green, blue, pink and brown (depending on exposure and other conditions) and the flowers are red. This hybrid was released by the ISI in 2010 as ISI 2010-11. It is a sibling of "Princess Jack" (also released by the ISI), which has wider leaves and larger, whiter teeth.
