Anyone identify this plant?
Watering, here at the summer digs, I met this
"marshmallow succulent".
It's new to me.

It is a split rock or cleft stone succulent.
Cause it looks like a rock that split in half.

I love these. I use to have a pot full of them...they come in some different colors, too....a reddish, darker green and light sort of yellow color.
Were these volunteers??
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Hey grace59,
Phil C & his wife, on this board, have met orphans throughout the Baja, and provided shelter for them, here.
Smokable ? . . . crossed my mind.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.
