Any Id on your first aloe you posted. The one you were told was aloe ferox. Looks a lot like one I have that was said to be aloe spectabilis .similar to marlothii from what I gather 

The top photo looks like Aloe ferox to me, including the inflorescence.  The second photo in his post (not copied down into my post) however looks less like straight ferox, and more like a marlothii hybrid:  1)  flower stalks a little more spread out like marlothii and having more the yellow color of marlothii flowers 2) the leaves of the second photo in Kevin's post are more armored like marlothii.

Yes, that autumn heat wave did it.  The block wall faces south, so it got the reflected heat off the wall as well.  I'm sure they do fine in hotter climates, but mine don't normally see temps approaching 100 degrees.  I am guessing that it is a lot like bringing a palm out of a greenhouse and exposing it to direct sunlight and seeing it burn.  That same palm after acclimating will do just fine in the same conditions that burned it when it was fresh out of the green house.  I'm sure there are plenty of folks wondering how temps at or near 100 would burn an Aloe like this, when they have temps in that range all summer.

The same Aloe marlothii I posted earlier now that the inflorescence has fully matured and flowers are opening, as well as a flowering Aloe peglerae.
