    Thank you!
    Gasteria is a genus of succulent plants native to South Africa. Closely related genera include Aloe and Haworthia. from wikipedia

    After cacti show I thought about Haworthia, they are related!

    It looks like Gasteria 'Little Warty'. I have one and it is my favourite plant. Mine looks just like the cultivar, but seems to be larger than expected. The name Gasteria refers to the stomach shape of the flowers.
