Please send me an identification if you can.  There should be two photos below.

The pot came with no label when I bought it.  Thank you.

More than likely a Gasteria X Aloe aristata (Gasteraloe) hybrid or an Aloe aristata X Aloe variegata.

Thanks, Tom.  Is there any way of knowing for sure which of those two hybrids it is?

Also, I have one more mystery aloe (photo below).  Can anyone identify it for me, please?  Sorry, I took the photo at night, so the visibility is not ideal.

Thank you.

Can anyone identify the other aloe in the latest photo above?  Many thanks, if so.

I think that Aloe shot up top was actually pretty darn MOSTLY Aloe aristata... has the 'hair' at the leaf tips and the flowers typical of the real thing, rarely seen on the hybrid Gasteraloes.  .  Plant above looks a bit like Aloe Lizard Lips, but need a better focus and perhaps to tell what size it is (for scale).
