Aloe wickensii
Family: Asphodelaceae
Origin: Native to rocky, arid slopes of Limpopo province, South Africa; often considered a bicolored form of Aloe cryptopoda
Description:
Aloe wickensii forms a solitary, stemless rosette of incurved, pale glaucous-green leaves edged with small, reddish-brown teeth. The rosette reaches approximately 2–3 ft (60–90 cm) wide. In late winter to early spring, it sends up striking branched inflorescences—often 3–4 per stalk—bearing red buds that open to yellow tubular flowers, creating a bi-colored display. Inflorescences can reach up to 5 ft (1.5 m) tall.:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
