Hello everyone!
New member here from San Antonio Texas. I have a small collection of agaves, cacti, succulents etc.. and just wanted to introduce myself to the group.

And like other members here, I decided to join so that you could help me identify the aloe below. I had never seen little plants? flowers? growing from the leaves and thought this was pretty interesting. I took some clippings home and they're growing. Anyways if you have any idea what it is I would love to know.

Thanks!

Welcome!

I am afraid that is not an Aloe but a Kalanchoe. That is about my extent of knowledge about Kalanchoes, but those platelets on the edges of the leaves are pretty characteristic.

No wonder I couldn't find it! Thanks for the quick identification.

K. daigremontiana - "Mother of Thousands" is the apt common name.
