Dewy Aloe flowerhead - a photo on Flickriver

Aloe thraskii (Coast Aloe) is an unbranched tree-like succulent that grows to 10 feet tall. It has deeply curved olive-green leaves with small reddish-brown marginal teeth, The leaves curve back to the trunk, sometimes even touching the skirt of old, dried leaves still hanging there. This winter-blooming species has well-branched inflorescences that can produce 15 to 25 upright cylindrical racemes. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches.

Its yellow flowers have orange anthers which give them a bi-colored look. Younger plants may only produce a single inflorescence while older ones can produce multiples.
