Hi! Would anyone be able to tell me what type of aloe this is? It looks completely different from when I first got it and has lost its thickness. It has since turned pinkish purple around the outer edges and it blooms peachy pink flowers.  
TIA :)

It looks like an aloe Vera to me! I think it’s just thirsty based on the shape of the leaves. They do flower under stress sometimes so it may have produced the flower since it wants more water!
