Aloe harlana

This species takes its name from the tiny village of Harla, close to Dire Dawa in northeastern Ethiopia. Plants in cultivation tend to have red flowers as seen here (a darker dusky red at the bud stage, and a brighter red with some orange at the mouth once the flower has opened), but plants in habitat may be yellow as well. The glossy leaves with nice spotting are reminiscent of relatives such as Aloe jucunda and Aloe hemmingii, but A. harlana is a much larger plant with its flowers more clustered at the ends of the floral branches.
