That's comforting to know that they don't pull exotic-sounding names out of the air to stick onto plants. Our local paper often extols using succulents for fire barriers. One piece: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20071111/news_1hs11save.html (Don't ever ever plant the green form of Euphorbia tiricallii recommended in the article, however, unless you want a monster on your hands that drips evil, blinding latex goo.) I'm sure you're familiar with the native succulents, the dudleyas and agaves and yuccas and such. But it's hard to say no to all the other interesting choices.

My parents lived in a tiny town nearby for several years. I'm "thinking about getting into succulents" as they are good for the defensible space around the house. I'd like to use Cal natives but on the other hand it could be fun to go wild with non-invasive exotic ones.

I've trawled through online listings of a lot of crassula species but nothing looks too much like it so far. And thanks for the comment on the kale post. I've heard fo art matching a sofa. Maybe people need clothes that match their veggies? Daniel, still no positive ID. I’ve trawled through online listings of a lot of crassula species but nothing looks too much like it so far.

I would have bought it too, even though I'm a stickler for names. I love the kale posting, great sensibility. I will visit your blog again. D. Did you ever find out which crassula that is.
