The ‘Sophie’ saga described in ISI 2013-13 continues. After that selection was made, Gary Lyons, selected one of ‘Sophie’s orange-flowered siblings to be named after the human Sophie’s brother, Jacob. Kujo is his stage name as a world-class break dancer of international acclaim. We had initially thought to introduce the aloes simultaneously so as not to unnecessarily stoke any sibling rivalry but in the end the elder is the first to be honored with his own namesake aloe cultivar. Rooted plants from tissue-culture of HBG 78546. $8.
