Here are a couple of hybrids I have, with no names. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Re: Two hybrids
The first is Aloe Variegata crossed with Gasteria Verrucosa, the second is Aloe 'Twilight Zone' a US cross including Aloe Haworthioides with similar flowers to Aloe Haworthioides.

Re: Two hybrids
Thanks Stuart.
I'd guessed the parentage of the first; I'm surprised that (if?) it hasn't been given a cultivar name, as its certainly a striking plant.
Off to make a new label for the second one...

Re: Two hybrids
Stuart, how in the world you knew that? I've heard and seen both hybrids, but no way I'd dare to ID.
Hat down, respect.

It's odd that I can recognise plants but I'm hopeless at recognising people.

Re: Two hybrids
Ralph, I have the first plant pictured as Gasteraloe Aveo. But it did come from a garden center. So who knows.

Re: Two hybrids
Brian, thanks!
While many pictures on the net of 'Aveo' aren't quite the same as my plant, and indeed the name may have been applied to various crosses with these parents,
the 'Aveo' from Kambroo
https://www.kambroo.com/product/x-gasteraloe-aveo/
looks a very good fit. So that's what's going on my label.

Re: Two hybrids
I have been doing lots of tidying up in my greenhouse ( inspired by an excellent NWCactus Mart). One side of the label says A variegata x G verrucosa. The other side says x Gasteraloe “terrukinae”. Some rather neglected offsets ready for some TLC.
Any ideas which side of the label is correct? Or perhaps both?
Plan B will be detailed research into when / where acquired

Re: Two hybrids
Checked sophisticated data base, both sides of plant label appear correct. Purchased almost ten years ago to the day. Root mealy removed & repotting today. When it gets watered this is a lovely plant.
