Aloe striata? hybrids

[abborean]

Got these pale blue aloes as plugs years ago. Anyone have an accurate name for them?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like Aloe striata hybrid 'Ghost Aloe'.
Here is the aloe I posted for identification and your's looks like the same aloe to me.

Thanks for the name! Guess we'll have to be satisfied with the suggested parentage. Mine have never made pups but are small yet I suppose. Blooming suggests maturity though.

Mine has also never produced any pups / offsets in the last more than a year that this plant is with me. But it looks quite an old plant as it has a small woody stem that is not visible in the pics.

One of mine has produced fruit and the other nothing despite being in bloom at the same time. Also saponaria and a gasteraloe? were in bloom at the same time to maybe I'll get hybrid seed. The few seed pods on the saponaria may be crosses also but not sure what selfs. Sorry for my ignorance on the subject of aloe.

Interesting. Ghost Aloe is already a strtiata x maculata hybrid. I wonder if crossing it again with A. maculata will produce anything different!! May be an aloe that has wider leaves (striata) with or without teeth and spots (maculata).
This is A.maculata x A.striata hybrid that I have. It has taken more from maculata it seems. I suggest you sow these seeds and lets see what we get. Please keep us updated on the results. Thanks

Is this one of the places that you do a cold frame on during the winter (aka do you leave these out all year), or do you dig them up in the winter?

Have them covered in the propagation area and as bigger plants on the south side of the house under glass. Note that the covered beds are open at the ends. We've had below normal temps in the low 20s the last few nights. Enough to kill all the various tropical kalanchoes that escaped the covered areas over summer.

Awesome, good to know! I am about to swap someone for one soon. Good to know it can handle that cold.

I had one years ago that I left out during the winters under a frost blanket and plastic cover where temps dipped to 16 that year and quite a few days in the 20s. It did well for many years, cannot remember what eventually happened to it..... No clue what variety it was but here is the thread showing photos: viewtopic.php?p=40959&hilit=striata#p40959
