Which Aloe is this ? It looked very much like Aloe vera, but the flowers are not right. Jkw

It's a local garden hybrid that I see around Tucson pretty often, especially in older neighborhoods. It's Aloe vera x grandidentata, but I like to call it Pepto Pink since the flower color reminds me of a familiar upset stomach medicine. :lol:
It suckers too much for its own good and creates a huge thicket with age thanks to the grandidentata parent, but the flower color and abundance of them makes it worth growing in the desert. I have one out front with a random bloom currently.
