Alice, I made the trip up there specifically to see if I could get one of those lovely variegated Alo's like you got. They had sold them all, unfortunately, but they had this one slightly leggy Syandrospadix vermitoxicus left - just the one, but it has two flowers coming! I'm excited to see them open.

NB! The very knowledgeable fellow who helped me said to be careful, if you prune leaves off this plant to wash your hands afterwards, because the juices are, indeed, somewhat toxic. He says it will get 3 ft. high and wide.
