    Another gift from my southbound friends that I could use help identifying...
    I've treated it as a succulent, and it seems to be very happy with few waterings.
    It has a neighbor living in the same pot, a cactus that really likes to grow!
    Here are some photos...
    Thanks in advance... W.

    Hi!
    Looks like a Senecio sp. (Senecio talinoides, or S. "Himalaya" or a similar species...)

    Hello Lila,

    It seems you are definitely right about it being a Senecio species.
    I've compared it to S.talinoides and found a "Senecio cylindraceus" to be considered by some a subspecies of Senecio talinoides which closely resembles what I have.

    Thank you for sharing and leading me in the right direction... W.
