I'll check and upload more photos, they don't currently have any flower growth so I'll focus on the spikes and search for blotches!

I'm not sure if it's A. vera. Check to see if it has any white blotchy coloration on the leaves, I think that's a good indication of A. vera. Though apparently they don't all have it. It is hard to tell because many aloes look very similar.

I'm pretty sure this is aloe vera, if anyone can confirm that would be great! :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloe_vera
