Aloe x 'Red Stripes' Family: Xanthorrhoeaceae.  An attractive compact hybrid Aloe with purple-blue leaves with square red teeth. This hybrid was made by a friend of mine in Thailand, hence the name.

This is a very unusual cultivar in that it is actually is variegated, but with red stripes instead of yellow. Unfortunately it needs particular growing conditions to really bring out this variegation as most of the time it looks like a solid red-purple leaf. You can see some of the variegation in the close up of the leaf.

Do note that the price for this plant is comparatively low for what it is... for now. Once I figure out the secret of how to grow it to really get the variegation to pop, or show strongly the price will more properly reflect a plant with such a unique coloration. But for now since you have to squint to see it the price is set fairly low. Once I figure out the magic growing conditions I'll put it in future listings of this.
