Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Striking blue-green succulent from northern Africa, producing small leaves that...deciduficate with drought, spreading by rhizomes and branches to form what looks like a bowl of upright worms tinted olive and pink. Everyone needs one. The flowers are medium to light yellow, smelling of grandma's attic. Remove immediately or not if it brings back memories, or if you're a grandma. USDA zone 10 with only light frost. Keep dryish in winter. Great houseplant.
