Where is that place?  Looks like Heaven.  That hybrid is a gorgeous plant - what is it with aloe hybrids, they all seems superior plants in some way?  Or maybe the duds get thrown out early.

Nice shots Steve-I was at that garden in May-awesome!  Have you now cleaned out all the "Hercs" in Socal??  :-).  I've got a couple going now and doing well, as well as an A. 'goliath' which is a Bainseii x Vaombe, which looks like it will become a monster.  I've not tried to post a photo here before, but here goes an attempt to show my 'goliath'

They (Goliath) have larger crowns, but less mass in the trunk. I have a variegated one  :cool:  how cool is that?

Thanks for the link Steve-I'd never seen a mature one before.  And how about a photo of your variegated goliath?
