Very interesting. Haven't heard much of this beautiful aloe. Does anyone else grow this aloe?
Thanks

Bought this one from STC ( Succulent Tissue Culture ) Netherlands in 2019.
I call this one my aloe sandpaper, because of the rough surface of the leaves.

That's a beautiful aloe..... quite slow growing though. Also, the leaves of the aloe in the opening post look quite smooth, narrower and with much smaller marginal spines. Are these two aloes same?

Yes, all the photos are of the same plant.
