I bought this little fella to go in my succulent bed-first I'll have to cut out a whole lotta ice plant! This is Aloe-X Pink Blush. (shouldn't we re-name this RiverRock's Place? Lol)

Oh, drool, cat, drool, drool, drool! I've never seen one like that before! Would you trade a piece for my first-born?

LOL-your first born what? He's still very tiny, but when it expands, I'll share.

Hahahaha! My first-born! She ain't no spring chicken anymore, but she's great at organzing cabinets and closets. I don't think that she's ever been to LA.

It has pups already and is in flower so I am thinking it is a variety that stays small?

I thought maybe Witt was gonna give me a chicken.(lol)
I just read the tag-mature height is 8-14 inches, and I measured it, and it is only 3 1/2 inches tall from the dirt to its tip. Does not include the flower stalk! Hardy to 25 degrees (not a problem here) Keep dry-full sun. So-in the ground it goes!

very nice! I hope it keep that color as it gets bigger, that would be a very beautiful adult plant. Cute little thing right now

I have a tiny aloe but I dont know what kind it is, I will post a pic, maybe some one will know.

I hope it does very well for you.

I have this one, too, Carolyn! How is yours doing for you in the ground? Aloe 'Pink Blush' is one of the first Kelly Griffin hybrids to be mass-produced (via tissue culture) & marketed. He has made quite a few GORGEOUS creations! He sent me a few pups...which are hanging on so far. I hope they stay alive long enough to see them flower...and then some!

Here's a shot to appreciate the color & texture he has managed to get into this hybrid:
