mexitron, it really isn't a fake and I am at a loss as to how to explain it ... there are 2 leaves - one on left and one on right (smaller).
it is beyond odd and I spent quite a bit of time on the internet yesterday trying to see if I could identify it ...... to absolutely no avail.

name but can post a picture of mine with more leaves and maybe someone will recognize it. I will photo maņana.

Candelabra Cactus
Not too unusual. There are cactus such as the Candelabra Cactus....that produce leafs. .....I do not know the name of yours in the picture.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

BajaBlanca,
Here is a photo of my leafy lobey guy. I have been looking for an ID but all the succulent ID sites are cumbersome without knowing more about what it
might be called.....

Give this man a cigar---you found the right family with the Candelabra---Euphorbiaceae. I'm fairly sure the Genus is Monadenium and probably the
species is M. ritchei:

That is it!
Mexitron, thanks for the ID.
Got another semi-succulent plant I am curious about...will post a pic today. Perhaps you can id this one, too... or tell me the family and I will
work on Genus and Species myself. I should have gone those steps with the Candelabra hint from McFez.

Any idea what this is called? It is very fast growing. Has a lovely fragrance when crushed. I want to taste it but will wait until I know what it
is...

Offhand looks like a Kalanchoe but sometimes the Crassula family throws curveballs....I'll see what I can find.
