I'm not sure if this is an aloe plant.
If it isn't, what is it?
If it is, what variety could it be?
(I bought it at Walmart, it was marked star aloe.)

Yes, it is an aloe. There are quite a few small bumpy hybrids out there, so it may be a little difficult to come up with a name for your plant.

Yes, it is an aloe. Perhaps a variety related to 'Firecracker' (but this is probably not that exact variety as it is reddish).

I think it is called Aloe 'DZ'. I looked on google and it looks like it just hasn't turned reddish yet. Thanks everyone for your help.
