This is not a succulent but a true cactus, Leuchtenbergia principis. I believe it is the only species in the genus, making the genus monotypic. They're tough little nuggets. -Ming This post was edited by mingtea on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 10:27

Way to cool for words. Super nice really big tell your friend it's called. The walking Sanserveria IIRC it's Cv is of the cylindrica type. Pretty easy to root ( yours already has some roots already started ) and just as easy to grow. Not alot of posting going on in there but you may want to ask for more specifics in the Sanserveria forum. Thank - you and your donating friend for showing ( all of us here) such a wonderful Sans specimen.

I was afraid to open this post when I saw the subject line, but then I remembered that this was a family friendly site :) Just lovely! While I do not miss Ohio winters, I do miss the beautiful fall colors. Thanks for sharing the scenery and your family.

Not a bird plant - the seeds are shot out when the mature pods are touched. Any that are ready will do this when you grab the plants to pull them out. If you don't know the other weed beneath the kind you asked about in your first picture is a speedwell (Veronica). When there are a lot of flowers competing successfully with turf grass it means site conditions are not optimal for the production and maintenance of a dense, grass only lawn that excludes these other types of plants.
