Last year we offered Aloe ‘Galactic Gold’, a hybrid with yellow teeth derived from this Madagascan variety. This species is one of very few Aloes with fragrant flowers. Unfortunately, that characteristic doesn’t come through in most hybrids. Perhaps this offering will distribute this variety to other hybridizers who can try their hand at capturing the elusive scent. We offer seedlings, accessioned anew as HBG 135904, of HBG 80656, originally distributed as ISI 98-26, plants from seed collected by Röösli & Hoffmann, December 15, 1992, in Madagascar, Mt. Ivohibe, W of Antsirabe. $15.
