Sarcocaulon crassicaule
With a common name like that (above) it must be South African. Also known as Bushmans Candle.
These will grow bushy to only about a foot across. They’re in the Geranium family, as you can probably tell from the shape of the leaves. Supposedly they’re hardy outside around here, but I wouldn’t bet on it (in other words we haven’t tried it yet.)

It wasn’t an insult, just an observation. Some of my best friends are South African.
