That's a nice plant Ernie but, gosh, you're a stickler for perfection! It's alive and healthy!

Hi Ernie,
Interesting looking cross. As David says, I too would expect the damage to grow out reasonably quickly. Good luck with this.

Re: New arrival- Not happy Solved
Yep just found the page c'est francais.
Basically what the guy is saying is that it's new hybrid of possibly aristata x desciongsii (right spelling this time). He reckons it will make 6" in diameter but if planted in the ground will make a group of about 18".

[quote=Colin]I've grown Gasteria batesiana x Aloe variegata for a long time. It makes a very attractive clump - one of my favourite crosses. Hope you enjoy yours too. Was this a Dave W. plant?[/quote]
Yep it certainly is. and yes it looks like it will make quite a handsome plant.

Poor plant! I've been lucky with plants in the post so far.
I hope that the broken bit does grow out. But at least it's alive and healthy.
