Not at all - that's Aloe variegata, the partridge breasted Aloe.

Not bad for a plant thats coming up to its 26th birthday ;D

Common Names: Partridge Breast Aloe, Tiger Aloe, 'Kanniedood' which means 'cannot die' when translated.

I did like the pic Mick.
You learn something every day.
I got a little parcel yesterday. Somebody sent me Aloe boylei, a grass Aloe and Stapelia glanduliflora which has a fantastic flower.

I knew about the Aloe but the Stapelia (which I really,really wanted) was a big surprise.

 This is something I have no name for, it is one of many pots of this, it divides by offsets and lives in the GH in winter. It flowers on a short slender stalk, with tiny orange flowers. |

Is it glued to the table then?
It's an Echeveria but don't know which one. Looks nice and healthy.

Echeveria Sweetie
Beautiful orange flowers on the end of long stems. Multiplies round the edges readily

It could be either Blue Echeveria or Echeveria elegans.  |

Would you like one (or 10) Mick? ;D You lot are clever arent you? It looks very blue in summer, it goes a shade of green in winter, I think its due to low light levels. |
