Aloe 'Hot Flash' is a selected seedling that was the result of open pollination of Aloe aculeata growing at Jeff Chemnick's amazing Aloes in Wonderland. The seedling first bloomed in January 2016 and was named by Jeff Chemnick when he first saw the fiery combination of red, orange and yellow flowers.
