    I take this to be Aloe aristata, it grows outside best I find, and has flowered every year since I don't know when.:smile:
    I stopped taking pics of it, so this is one from a couple of years ago.

      @pete Having discovered that Aloe aristata is hardier than I thought I'm planning on trying it outside.
      No, I was given it as H bella years ago. Having just looked at some pictures it could well be H carnosa.

        Sorry to hear that. I wonder why it doesn't bloom for you. Mine is very potbound and has hardly any water.

          We have an independent flower seller in the mall outside our local Waitrose and occasionally he has a few live plants at rock bottom prices. A month or so ago he had loose Amaryllis bulbs (sorted by colour in theory) at four quid each. They are large bulbs too, mine is 13cm in diametre. I got lucky, the white bulb that I bought is white!
