Aloe collector in 9A/Texas. Care and ID guides, photos of Aloe varieties, and general Aloe nerd ramblings. I’ve grown Aloes about 15 years in all kinds of conditions (at least the conditions SE Texas gives me)…my advice here is based on that and advice taken/learned from expert growers.
Also named ‘Guido’, one of a few of Kelly Griffin’s hybrids that are sold under two different names. Here’s a link to a forum post on the reason behind that and the other of his hybrids that also have “Retro Gang” names. Agaveville forum – What’s in a name?
I live in Houston, Texas and have been interested in and collecting Aloe plants since 2008, my first Aloe was the “chinensis” variety that I got from my mom in 2006. I am autistic and an English major. Aloes are my “special interest”.
