imgur.com/iWHLJdEimgur.com/YMs94q6Hey all, I don't know if we have any Agave experts in here, but wondering if anyone is able to ID. I know they're still young... I went on a trip to South Africa and brought back seeds of two different species. Would love to know what they are. Shot in the dark.

Totally correct, it is an Aloe of some sort. Most Aloe species look similar when young so you'll have to get some size to it before getting an ID.

We thought aloe when we saw them when travelling, but my mother-in-law kept insisting they were agaves as she'd been there many times. Turns out she only called them agaves because when she had brought her own mother-in-law there decades ago, she had corrected her on what they were.
Go figure.
