You know, sometimes you just make mistakes. We had our Aloe cryptopoda plants flowering in late December, just when it seemed that nothing else in Aloeland was blooming, and the hummingbirds pollinated our plants. To our surprise, and a little disgust, we got a lot of hybrids! These plants bear varying degrees of difference from the true species, mostly in terms of grayer leaves and the appearance of spots on the leaves. We highly suspect that these plants are at least as hardy as the original plants, which have taken 20F with only leaf-edge damage. These plants are seedlings in 5-inch pots.
